            A TRIBUTE TO THE STUDENTS AT FRAZIER HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK MASCARA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 31, 2001

  Mr. MASCARA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a very special 
group of constituents in my district, the students at Frazier High 
School, which is located in Perryopolis, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
  On October 29th, Frazier students Tricia Keefer, Amanda Wetzel, 
Carrie Sterdis, Kara Steiner, Toni Keffer, Sara Toth, Rebecca Harmon 
and Ashley Madorma, presented me with a check for President Bush and 
America's Fund for Afghan Children. The compassionate students at 
Frazier High School raised $616 for the needy Afghan children.
  More than 10 million children in Afghanistan are suffering because of 
years of war and drought. One in four Afghan children will not make it 
to their fifth birthday, and one in three is an orphan. Remember, these 
children are innocent victims of a repressive government, a government 
that doesn't care about their suffering.
  But thanks to the selfless efforts of the students at Frazier High 
School, and the efforts of hundreds of thousands of children across 
this country, fewer children in Afghanistan will suffer this winter. 
Every dollar raised will help make sure Afghan children receive the 
food, shelter and medicine they so desperately need.
  Mr. Speaker, I know the entire House of Representatives joins me in 
saluting the hard work and dedication of the students at Frazier High 
School.
