                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 25, 2007

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
young women of Laurel Highlands High School Cheerleading Squad and 
their coach Liz Dunham. The young ladies of this squad have 
accomplished so much not just over the squad school year but over the 
proceeding years. These accomplished young women have done more for the 
community of Uniontown, Pennsylvania than they may realize.
  While not only cheering at 98 games over the past year, the 
cheerleaders of Laurel Highlands have accomplished so much more. These 
young ladies have participated and volunteered their time in numerous 
community activities. They have raised funds and awareness for 
organizations and charities that include the Leukemia and Lymphoma 
Society and the Bosom Buddies. The cheerleaders of Laurel Highlands 
High School have also collected for food banks and helped with the 
benefit dance for Interfaith Caregivers of Fayette, Inc.
  Along with their community involvement, the cheerleaders of Laurel 
Highlands High School have participated and won many titles and the 
respect of many within the sport. Including, back to back Bituminous 
Coal Show ``Varsity Over All High Point'' titles, along with JV winning 
their division, and the 2007 WPXI ``Cheer of the Year'' Contest. The 
involvement and dedication of these young women could end today and I 
still would not have enough time to stress the accomplishments of this 
squad both past and present.
  I ask that you and my distinguished colleagues join me in commending 
the athletes of the Laurel Highlands High School Cheerleading Squad in 
Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Their presence has been felt not only 
throughout the school but throughout the community as well. Best wishes 
to all of these young ladies in their future endeavors and may the 
memories this illustrious year last them a lifetime.
