                   SALUTING ENGLEWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

                                 ______


                           HON. DAN SCHAEFER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 23, 1994

  Mr. SCHAEFER. Mr. Speaker, I have held a number of constituent 
conferences over the years on topics ranging from senior health care to 
education. My most recent conference was held on Saturday, September 17 
and dealt with veterans' issues. The common thread throughout all these 
conferences was that they were held at Sinclair Middle School in 
Englewood, CO.
  During each and every one of my conferences at Sinclair, I and my 
staff have been treated with courtesy, professionalism and efficiency 
by the entire staff. I thank the principal of Sinclair, Robert Cady, 
for making possible the use of his school. I also want to salute his 
custodial staff, especially Larry Case and Juvie DeHerrera, for their 
superb work in making our veterans' conference a success. Larry was 
polite and thorough as we made preparations in the days leading up to 
the conference, while Juvie was equally efficient and helpful on the 
conference day itself. Without such fine help from these two employees, 
our conference would not have been so successful.
  I believe that the excellence we found at Sinclair Middle School is a 
reflection of the entire Englewood, CO, public school system. Comprised 
of 4,388 students, the Englewood public school system has a tradition 
of excellence. For example, the recently released Iowa Test of Basic 
Skills scores shows all levels of Englewood students scoring above the 
60th percentile in this important test. This is an increase of up to 30 
points over last year and is testament to the leadership of Dr. Roscoe 
Davidson, superintendent of the Englewood public school system.
  In short, Mr. Speaker, Colorado should be proud of Englewood's public 
schools, while Englewood should be proud of Sinclair and its fine 
staff.
