  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Kaitlin 
McLoughlin, a young woman from Troy, Michigan who has been awarded the 
2002 Michigan AAA Club Patroller of the Year and the National Club 
Patroller of the Year.
  The AAA School Safety Program began in 1920 and now includes more 
than 500,000 patrollers in 50,000 schools across the United States and 
Canada. This program helps ensure the safety of younger children while 
teaching responsibility to the older children.
  Kaitlin has served as the Safety Patrol Captain at Our Shepherd 
Lutheran School for the past two years. In that capacity, she is 
responsible for escorting the children into the school, maintaining a 
weekly record of her safety squad, organizing the safety squad and 
assigning duty stations.
  Her school principal has described Kaitlin as dependable, clear 
thinking, calm and well-respected. She is also very well-rounded. 
Kaitlin is co-captain of the school cheering squad, vice-president of 
the student council, acts as Mistress of Ceremonies for the school 
talent show and serves as co-chair for the school dance. She also helps 
with various school fundraisers and works in the local food bank.
  Mr. Speaker, I salute Kaitlin and all this year's award recipients 
for their lifesaving contributions to the safety of their fellow 
students.
