  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Westminster 
Christian Academy in St. Louis, Missouri for winning the ``Foundations 
of Democracy'' unit award in the ``We the People: The Citizen and the 
Constitution'' 2004 program. The ``We the People'' program is a 
competition on the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights in which 
students are challenged to apply their knowledge of constitutional 
principles and understanding of historical facts to contemporary 
situations. The program is designed to promote an understanding of the 
rights and responsibilities of citizens in our constitutional 
democracy.
  Westminster Christian Academy is an independent, coeducational, 
college preparatory school serving grades 7-12 located in St. Louis 
County. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to congratulate the individual 
members of Westminster's team for their outstanding performance in this 
year's competition: Britney Bennett, Chris Collum, Ryan Dabler, Jessica 
Degnan, J.D. Gustafson, Gerrod Heise, Nina Hiles, Rebecca Keffler, 
Angela Ludwinski, Lindsay McClure, Joeana Middleton, Neil Peterson,

Elizabeth Simon, Lily Strand, Steve Vitale, and their teacher, Ken 
Boesch.
