  Mrs. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Stewart Manor 
School for having received the prestigious Blue Ribbon School award. 
The Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes schools that make 
significant progress in closing the achievement gap or whose students 
achieve at very high levels. Stewart Manor School has high 
expectations. It ranks in the top 10 percent in the State of New York 
in math and English scores. Stewart Manor School has proven it has 
outstanding instruction, teacher training and student achievement.
  The future of this country depends on the hopes and dreams of its 
children, and our community and our Nation are enhanced by the 
contributions of high achieving students like those at Stewart Manor 
School.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with pride and admiration I offer my thanks and 
recognition to Stewart Manor School.
