Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize and honor the late Mrs. Maria H. Arenas, beloved educator, wife and mother who passed away on June 21, 2013. I include in the Record the following proclamation in her honor:
Whereas, Mrs. Arenas was an enthusiastic educator and
administrator in the Miami-Dade County Public School system
for over thirty years until her retirement in summer of 2006;
Whereas, Mrs. Arenas was a lifelong devotee to the pursuit
of knowledge, earning her high school degree from Miami
Northwestern High School in 1965, a Bachelor of Science
degree in Speech and Theater Arts from Florida Agricultural
and Mechanical University, a Master of Science degree in
Educational Curriculum, and had, at the time of her passing,
completed all of the required coursework toward earning a
Doctoral degree in Education;
Whereas, Mrs. Arenas travelled extensively around the world
and allowed others to share her experiences through social
media websites;
Whereas, Mrs. Arenas was a vibrant member of the Red
Hatters and numerous other civic and social organizations;
and now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S.
Wilson, a member of the United States House of
Representatives, representing the 24th Congressional District
of Florida, commend Mrs. Maria H. Arenas for her years of
service and dedication to Miami-Dade County Public Schools
