  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the twenty-two 
outstanding teachers from my district who have been awarded the Teacher 
of the Year award from the Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise.
  For the past 30 years, the Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise has 
offered this annual distinction to one teacher at each of the twenty-
two schools in the greater Boca Raton area. Each awardee is selected by 
the school's principal. These teachers have dedicated themselves to 
inspiring and empowering the next generation of young South Floridians. 
The amount of time and effort these exemplary teachers have spent 
betting the next generation of their community is truly admirable, and 
their passion is worthy of recognition.
  These twenty-two exemplary teachers have made a profound impact on 
their students through their caring, commitment, and professionalism. 
They are a cohort defined by integrity, excellence, and the highest 
marks in all they do. The City of Boca Raton is fortunate to have such 
outstanding faculty, dedicated to ensuring a bright future for our 
students.
  Congratulations to Cara Pavek, Polly Moorman, Jeanne Russell-Khan, 
Kenneth Johnson, Tina Garofalo, Alyce Lewert, Deborah Woolsey, Lori 
Paquette, Stephany Pierre, Gina Yallop, Linda Josaphat, Lorraine 
Overton, Margaret Longazel, Abbe Snyder, Rosanne Breland, Kristen 
Stern, Randy Weddle, Rachel Smith, Jenifer Berlatsky, Lindsay Ackerman-
Conway, Lawrence Shane, and Nicole Scalisi on being nominated for this 
year's teacher of the year award. I am pleased to honor them, and I 
thank them for their continued service.
