Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate LaVace Stewart Elementary
School in Kemah, Texas, in my congressional
district, for being awarded a No Child Left Behind-
Blue Ribbon award. LaVace Stewart Elementary
School earned this award by going
from acceptable to exemplary in State accountability
ratings in less than 4 years.
2007 Ron Paul 100:2
LaVace Stewart Elementary School is one of only 23 Texas schools selected for the Blue
Ribbon award, which honors public and private
elementary, middle, and high schools that
demonstrate superior academic performance
or high gains in student achievement.
LaVace Stewart is certainly worthy of this
award. As Dr. Sandra Mossman, superintendent
of schools for Clear Creek Independent
School District said, [W]hen you
walk into [LaVace Stewart] you can immediately
feel the enthusiasm for learning and
witness the compassion for children.
2007 Ron Paul 100:3
Madam Speaker, I agree with Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings that It takes a
lot of hard work by teachers and students to
become a Blue Ribbon school, and its a privilege
to celebrate their great effort. I am
pleased to extend my congratulations to the
teachers, administrators, parents, and the students
of LaVace Stewart Elementary School
for the schools is named a Blue Ribbon
School.
