  CONGRATULATING VILLA MADONNA ACADEMY ON ITS FORTHCOMING CENTENNIAL 
                              ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the Villa Madonna Academy of Villa Hills, Kentucky, on its forthcoming 
centennial anniversary on May 14, 2005.
  Villa Madonna Academy carries a long, distinguished reputation of 
preparing students to respect themselves and others, to have a sense of 
self-discipline, to accept personal responsibility for their attitudes 
and actions, and to dedicate themselves to academic excellence and 
lifelong learning.
  Villa Madonna Academy has demonstrated its academic distinction by 
being the only greater Cincinnati-northern Kentucky area high school to 
receive designation, under two separate criteria, as a U.S. Department 
of Education Blue Ribbon School of Excellence two consecutive years in 
2002 and 2003.
  Villa Madonna Academy's partnership with the nearby Benedictine 
Sisters of St. Walburg Monastery provides opportunities for area youth 
to participate in a variety of sports activities and be outstanding 
neighbors in our community.
  Once again, I want to congratulate the students, teachers and alumni 
of the Villa Madonna Academy on its centennial anniversary and to thank 
them for being such fine individuals and stewards of our community.
