   IN RECOGNITION OF STATE ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL'S 75TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 15, 1997

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor State Road Elementary 
School of Parma, OH, on its 75th anniversary. State Road Elementary has 
been the starting place for thousands of proud, educated and involved 
Parmanians. They have grown to become leaders in their unions, 
respected members of their churches and capable and loving parents.
  State Road Elementary began humbly as a small school. But it grew 
with the neighborhood. It fit in with the neighborhood's character. 
State Road Elementary is located in a neighborhood where family values 
are strong. These are families that work hard at their jobs, support 
one another, look out for one another and stand up for what is right. 
State Road Elementary prepared children to be active and upstanding 
members of their community.
  For three-quarters of a century, this Parma neighborhood has sent its 
daughters and sons to start their education at State Road Elementary. I 
see no reason not to think that another four generations of families 
will be able to count on State Road Elementary for a healthy start and 
a head start for their children.
