  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Clements High 
School choir director Janet Menzie for earning the Texas Association of 
School Administrators 2021 Region 4 Secondary Teacher of the Year.
  The fine arts play an integral role in our education system, and our 
teachers are the backbone. The arts also support the emotional and 
mental health of our children, a worthy cause especially during this 
global pandemic. Mrs. Menzie is a gift to her students and an 
exceptional example for her peers. Her dedication to empowering our 
youth deserves recognition and the utmost appreciation.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations, Mrs. Menzie, on this achievement. I thank her for her 
commitment and passion while teaching our kids the power of music.
