                      Wednesday, December 12, 2001

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Conner Street 
Elementary in recognition of their achievement as an ``exemplary'' 
school.
  Conner Street Elementary has been selected as one of the top 50 
schools of West Virginia. ``Exemplary'' status is based on Stanford 
Achievement Test results, attendance, drop out rates, and writing exam 
scores.
  I commend the leadership and faculty on their dedication to the 
children that walk through their doors each day. They have set an 
incredible example for the other 817 schools in West Virginia.
  I equally commend the students and parents of Conner Street 
Elementary for their commitment to a quality education and a bright 
future.

  Efforts to bring superior education to all of West Virginia and 
America are among our top priorities. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues 
to join me in honoring Conner Street Elementary.
