                    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 Blevins Junior High School in 
Colorado for their efforts to help the needy during the holidays. I 
commend the faculty of Blevins 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 families in Colorado. That the school produced 5,500 cans of food 
and warm clothing 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.
