                        Tuesday, April 29, 2003

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the Edgewood Elementary School in Okemos, Michigan for its 39 years of 
service to the community. This institution has continuously provided a 
nurturing atmosphere of learning and support for all the staff that 
serve there and the students who pass through its doors.
  Edgewood Elementary School has a history of academic excellence. In 
both 2001 and 2002, it received the Golden Apple Awards for high 
achievement, an honor presented by the State of Michigan. Yet the 
school provides more than just a space to learn. It is a trusted pillar 
in the neighborhood, a place where students, staff, parents, and 
community members come together and build lifelong relationships.
  Mr. Speaker, Edgewood Elementary School's dedication to promoting 
superior education while fostering an environment of care is an example 
to all institutions. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing its 
many achievements.
