          COPE MIDDLE SCHOOL BOSSIER CITY, LA, RECEIVES AWARD

  Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, today with recognition of the need for 
education to ensure a brighter future for our next generation, there 
are a few schools that clearly stand out as leaders among their peers. 
Cope Middle School of Bossier City, LA, which places special emphasis 
on mathematics and science, earned the right to stand proud in 
receiving the 1993-94 elementary Blue Ribbon Schools Award.
  Despite the many outstanding programs active at Cope Middle School, 
the diverse group of concerned professionals that comprise the faculty 
have not forgotten the very reason for them being there. The programs 
at Cope are focused and well integrated in classrooms that constitute 
the complete learning center. Cope Middle School has also shown that an 
institution of learning must extend beyond the physical wall of the 
buildings, and include families and communities.
  Mr. President, I am pleased to have this opportunity to applaud and 
congratulate the Cope Middle School on this outstanding achievement. 
They have set an example for all of us through their dedication and 
hard work.
