                       Thursday, January 4, 2007

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate University 
Park Elementary School upon its receipt of the Department of 
Education's prestigious Blue Ribbon School Award.
  University Park Elementary School is among the first selected in the 
2006 No Child Left Behind--Blue Ribbon Schools Program. It is among 
only 250 schools nationwide honored for either superior academic 
achievement or dramatic gains in student achievement.
  The Blue Ribbon Award is a testament to the hard work and dedication 
demonstrated by the students, parents, teachers, and administrators of 
University Park Elementary. This Award also recognizes the values that 
make the Highland Park Independent School District a beacon of academic 
excellence.
  It is my honor and privilege to recognize University Park Elementary 
School for its outstanding achievement in preparing our children for 
the challenges of tomorrow. May University Park Elementary School 
continue to be a shining example of superior leadership and commitment 
to excellence in education.
