                           HON. BOB SCHAFFER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 4, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay humble tribute to the 
students, teachers and parents of Kruse Elementary School in Colorado 
for their efforts to help the needy during the holidays. I commend the 
faculty of the school as well as all the students, parents and 
individuals who contributed to their special canned food drive. Their 
selfless dedication has provided warmth, comfort, and happiness to 19 
needy families in Colorado. That the Kruse Parent Teacher Organization 
produced so much from their food drive for the benefit of local 
families through the Salvation Army 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 this example during the holidays be a beacon to us all 
throughout the year.
