                                 ______


                              HON. JAY KIM

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 27, 1994

  Mr. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
acknowledge the scholastic excellence of the students, teachers, and 
administration of the Bryant Ranch Elementary School, located in Yorba 
Linda and a part of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, 
in its being recognized as a National Blue Ribbon Elementary School.
  Mr. Speaker, when you take the time to examine the school's mission 
statement, motto, activities, and its outstanding relationship with the 
entire school district, it should be no surprise that this 
distinguished honor has been bestowed upon the Bryant Ranch Elementary 
School. The school's mission statement stresses the development of 
students with high esteem who celebrate learning as a lifelong 
experience and clearly defines to all personnel the importance of 
providing a positive and caring environment that promotes intellectual 
curiosity, encourages creativity, and establishes a tradition for 
achieving the student's personal best. Bryant Ranch Elementary School's 
motto is, ``Reflect the past, explore the present, and invent the 
future.''
  Mr. Speaker, I also believe that the Bryant-Ranch Elementary School, 
and indeed the entire Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, 
should be looked upon as a model of what American educational 
institutions, and their school districts strive to achieve in 
education.
  Mr. Speaker, as you know, a solid education is one of the most 
valuable asset that we can provide our children. The example set by the 
Bryant-Ranch Elementary School is one of academic diligence and 
excellence. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the Placentia-
Yorba Linda Unified School District for nurturing a school of such high 
caliber, and of course to all of the fine students, teachers, parents 
and administration of the Bryant-Ranch Elementary School for a job well 
done.
