  Recognizing the roles and contributions of elementary and secondary 
  school teachers in building and enhancing the civic, cultural, and 
               economic well-being of the United States.

Whereas education and knowledge are the foundation of the current and future 
        strength of the United States;
Whereas teachers and other education staff have earned and deserve the respect 
        of their students and communities for their selfless dedication to 
        community service and the futures of the children of the United States;
Whereas the purposes of National Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrated from May 
        8, 2023, through May 12, 2023, are--

    (1) to raise public awareness of the unquantifiable contributions of 
teachers; and

    (2) to promote greater respect and understanding for the teaching 
profession; and

Whereas students, schools, communities, and a number of organizations 
        representing educators are recognizing the importance of teachers during 
        National Teacher Appreciation Week: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) thanks elementary and secondary school teachers; and
            (2) promotes the profession of teaching and the 
        contributions of educators by encouraging students, parents, 
        school administrators, and public officials to recognize 
        National Teacher Appreciation Week.
