                     TRIBUTE TO SISTER RENE DONOHUE

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Sister Rene 
Donohue of St. Philip the Apostle School of Clifton, NJ, who has been 
awarded 1 of 12 Distinguished Principal Awards presented by the 
department of elementary schools of the National Catholic Educational 
Association.
  Sister Rene was nominated by Frank Petruccelli, the Paterson diocesan 
superintendent of schools.
  Not only has Sister Rene served in several Catholic schools in New 
Jersey for the past 21 years, but she also has been the principal of 
St. Philip the Apostle School in Clifton since 1979.
  The NCEA has commended Sister Rene for having ``initiated numerous 
innovative programs which have provided the students with the 
experience and opportunities to enhance their established curriculum 
especially in science, library, and the fine arts areas.''
  During her tenure Sister Rene has established a school-within-a-
school program which helps students who need additional help become 
academically successful. She has also created a program known as 
kaleidoscope for the students who are gifted and talented.
  I am sure that St. Philip the Apostle is proud of her, and it is with 
great pleasure that I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Sister 
Rene continued success.
