  Mrs. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exceptional 
individuals at Baldwin School District, an institution which renders 
significant contributions to the educational development and social 
enrichment of youth.
  The future of this country depends on the hopes and dreams of its 
children, our community, and our Nation, and is enhanced by the 
contributions of those who serve as mentors and those who make 
mentoring programs safe and strong.
  The Baldwin School District and its leadership have promoted and 
supported mentoring

programs through an innovative partnership which brings together 
dedicated teachers, businesspeople, and community volunteers with 
students. Baldwin's programs have been a bridge of understanding which 
have highlighted the talents and determination of its young people and 
the devotion of the teachers, businesspeople, and community volunteers 
who give their time and commitment to mentoring.
  The mentoring process brings benefits to youth, the caring adults who 
guide them, and by extension to the community, the business world, and 
the region, and Baldwin's innovative mentoring program is outstanding.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with pride and admiration I offer my thanks and 
recognition to the Baldwin School District.
