  DeLay Middle School has been honored as one of two middle schools in 
the United States to win a 2008 Intel Distinction Award, and was the 
only middle school nationwide recognized for excellence in math by 
Intel. For this prestigious award DeLay Middle School will be given a 
package of a $10,000 cash grant and curriculum supplies including 
hardware and software valued at more than $160,000.
  The Intel Schools of Distinction Award is given annually to six 
schools that have demonstrated exemplary instruction in the subjects of 
mathematics and science. By winning this award, DeLay Middle School 
marks itself as an institution committed to providing outstanding 
education, a role model to other schools in our Nation.
  I commend DeLay Middle School of Lewisville. Their hard work and 
desire to excel deserves the highest recognition and congratulations. 
I'm very proud to represent these students, teachers, and faculty in 
the U.S. House of Representatives.
