                               RESOLUTION


 
     Designating the week of May 6 through 12, 2001, as ``Teacher 
Appreciation Week'', and designating Tuesday May 8, 2001, as ``National 
                             Teacher Day''.

Whereas the foundation of American freedom and democracy is a strong, effective 
        system of education where every child has the opportunity to learn in a 
        safe and nurturing environment;
Whereas a first rate education system depends on a partnership between parents, 
        principals, teachers, and children;
Whereas much of the success of our Nation is the result of the hard work and 
        dedication of teachers across the Nation;
Whereas, in addition to a child's family, knowledgeable and skillful teachers 
        can have a profound impact on the child's early development and future 
        success;
Whereas many people spend their lives building careers, teachers spend their 
        careers building lives;
Whereas our Nation's teachers serve our Nation's children beyond the call of 
        duty as coaches, mentors, and advisers without regard to fame or 
        fortune; and
Whereas, across our Nation, nearly 3,000,000 men and women experience the joys 
        of teaching young minds the virtues of reading, writing, and arithmetic: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates the week of May 6 through 12, 2001, as 
        ``Teacher Appreciation Week'';
            (2) designates Tuesday May 8, 2001, as ``National Teacher 
        Day''; and
            (3) calls upon the people of the United States to take a 
        moment out of their busy lives to say thanks and pay tribute to 
        our Nation's teachers.
                                 &lt;all&gt;
