  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Susan Migon of 
St. Charles Borromeo School in Westvale, NY for being honored by New 
York State as Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Educator of 
the Year. This award is named to Susan Migon in recognition of her 
extraordinary commitment to the New York State D.A.R.E. program.
  The D.A.R.E. program provides fifth grade students with the knowledge 
necessary to successfully turn away from drugs and alcohol. Susan Migon 
contributes to the D.A.R.E. course taught by local police chiefs by 
bringing enthusiasm and constant participation to her classroom. She 
serves as a valuable asset to the program and should be honored for her 
exemplary dedication. Susan Migon received a nomination for the award 
from the Geddes Police Department, and has worked closely with them on 
the D.A.R.E. program for the past nine years.
  On behalf of the residents of the 25th Congressional District of New 
York, it is my honor to congratulate Susan Migon of St. Charles School 
for her award as New York State's D.A.R.E. Educator of the Year.
