                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 10, 1994

  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Bellefonte 
Area Middle School which has been named National Energy Education 
School of the Year for the junior division for 1994.
  A group of 20 active Energy Club students selected the main goals of 
the school for the energy education project. These goals included 
raising funds for the purchase of trees and shrubs which were planted 
in the Talleywood Park by the students, running a newspaper recycling 
project throughout the school, and keeping the school updated on energy 
activities by showing a video produced by Energy Club members. The club 
also led an energy education workshop for students and teachers from 
several area school districts.
  Because of this honor, representatives of the school will be 
attending the National Youth Awards for Energy Achievement Conference 
in Washington, DC. These students will also be recognized at an awards 
reception for their outstanding performance in energy education coupled 
with their commitment to energy awareness.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to recognize the Bellefonte Area 
Middle School and their Energy Club as award winners in the National 
Energy Education Development Project. I offer them my sincere 
congratulations for their individual as well as group efforts to help 
increase energy awareness and education.
