                        Thursday, March 4, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay humble tribute to the 
students, teachers, and parents of Boltz Junior High School in Colorado 
for their efforts to help the needy during the holidays. I commend the 
faculty of Boltz, particularly Jennifer Gammon, Tony Garcia, Kirstan 
Morris, and Ali Shore, as well as all the students, parents, and 
individuals who contributed to their special benefit auction. Their 
selfless dedication has provided warmth, comfort, and happiness to 
families in Colorado for 3 years running. That the school raised $1,200 
for the benefit of two local families is testament to the true meaning 
of the spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah. Let us remember, as these good 
people have, that the holiday season is one of giving, one of joy, and 
one of hope. Let the childrens' example during the holidays be a beacon 
to us all throughout the year.
