                      CONGRATULATING KAYLA BARBER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 30, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Kayla Barber for her outstanding accomplishments in the 
Missionette Program in New Castle, Pennsylvania.
  The Missionette Program is sponsored by First Assembly of God in New 
Castle, Pennsylvania. It is a national program that is equivalent to 
the Girl Scout program, except the Missionette Program emphasizes 
Biblical themes. Kayla has achieved the highest award in the program 
which includes twenty seven units with each unit consisting of four 
lessons, a memory verse, activities, and a project. They are required 
to read the entire New Testament and nine honor steps are to be 
completed which include intense memorization, and this all concludes 
with testing. This is not an easy achievement.
  Kayla, a 5th grade student, will be honored May 7, 2006 at First 
Assembly of God for her outstanding accomplishment.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating Kayla Barber for her outstanding 
accomplishments in the Missionette Program. It is an honor to represent 
the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to 
salute such outstanding citizen such as Kayla.
