                        Wednesday, May 15, 2002

  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Lincoln School on 
the occasion of its 130th anniversary. Established in 1872, the Lincoln 
School has provided unique opportunities and brought stability and 
continuity in the quality of education for students in the West Marin 
ranching community.
  Throughout its history, the Lincoln School Board of Trustees has 
worked tirelessly to maintain the integrity of the one room school in 
the one school district. Surviving earthquakes, fires and storms, the 
Lincoln School has met the changing needs of its students, fulfilling 
its role as a truly integral and indispensable part of the rural 
community. While expecting as well as providing excellence in its 
programs, the school's faculty and staff have demonstrated compassion 
and concern for all students.
  For one hundred and thirty years, the Lincoln School has served a 
diverse community of learners, educating several generations of 
students and entire Marin families. This excellence would not have been 
possible without the dedicated efforts, spirit and generosity of the 
Lincoln School parent and teacher community.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the Lincoln School for making 
a significant difference in the lives of its students, families

and friends in the West Marin community for one hundred and thirty 
years.
