                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Norma Menchaca of 
Stafford, TX, for her outstanding contributions as a teacher the past 
38 years.
  Norma began her teaching career with the Stafford Municipal School 
District as a kindergarten teacher in 1983. After graduating from the 
University of Texas-Pan American, she worked for the Brownsville 
Independent School District, but moved to Houston after her husband 
became a Houston Firefighter. Norma loves the small town atmosphere of 
the school district and looks forward to high school graduation 
ceremonies so she can see her former students graduate. Today she's the 
longest serving teacher in the school district and said her retirement 
will be bittersweet. She will be missed.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
thank Norma again for her time teaching our children. She has been an 
important and influential member of our community shaping the minds of 
generations of students. We wish her a happy retirement.
