 CONGRATULATING VILLA MADONNA ACADEMY ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I invite my colleagues to join me 
in congratulating Villa Madonna Academy Elementary and Junior High 
School of Villa Hills, KY. Villa Madonna Academy Elementary and Junior 
High School is recognized as a 2007 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon

  The Blue Ribbon Schools Program has been celebrating high achieving 
schools for 25 years. Established in 1982 by the U.S. Department of 
Education, the program has recognized more than 5,200 schools since its 
inception. This year 11 Kentucky schools join this distinguished list, 
and I am proud to say that this is the second time Villa Madonna 
Academy Elementary and Junior High School has been a worthy recipient.
  By demanding excellence from each and every student, Villa Madonna
