 Recognizing the roles and contributions of the teachers of the United 
  States 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 the selfless dedication of the 
        teachers and staff to community service and the futures of the children 
        of the United States;
Whereas the purposes of National Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrated from May 
        5, 2025, through May 9, 2025, 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 Senate--
            (1) thanks the teachers of the United States; 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.
