             Representative for Congressman Pete Gallego, Cynthia Martinez was at Robert E. Lee Elementary on Friday to share his pride and encouragement to the honr students at this school, so much so, that, despite the fact that the House of Representatives is presently in session, he sent a written message to the student body:

             "Please accept my congratulations on your successes.  Education is opportunity.  Every parent wants the best opportunities for their children.  This is why your administration, staff and faculty encourage you daily to achieve great successes."  

             "I thank them for their dedication to education.  Remember that teachers, counselors and parents have one goal in mind, and that is your success.  I understand that at times it must be tough but we all want you to be prepared, because every child is their parents pride and joy."  

             "I want you to make your parents' hometown, state and nation proud of your achievements. Each of you has great potential.  You are our nations' future doctors, engineers, police, scientists, astronauts and public servants of our communities."
