                      Saturday, December 17, 2005

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
North Metcalfe Elementary School 6th Grade Academic Team for their 
participation and high achievement in the Kentucky Colonel academic 
competition on December 3, 2005. In this competition, students competed 
in written assessment categories of math, science, language arts, 
social studies and arts and humanities.
  In these categories, team members placed first and second in math and 
second in language arts. Collectively, the team went home as first 
place Kentucky Colonels Quick Recall Champions and placed second in the 
overall competition, defeating six other teams. Together, they 
demonstrated great academic prowess, teamwork and sportsmanship before 
a regional audience, representing competitive values that make Kentucky 
proud.
  I would like to commend Kristen Compton, Price Bell, Lindsey Coomer 
and Chandler Staggs for their accomplishment. I would also like to 
recognize their coaches, two fine educators, Angela Welsh and Rachel 
Dial. I am very proud to represent these students, teachers and their 
families.
  I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to join me 
in congratulating the North Metcalfe Elementary School 6th Grade 
Academic Team for their achievement and wish them continued success in 
their promising future years.
