                       TRIBUTE TO JO PRICE CRAVEN

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I would like to recognize Ms. Jo 
Price Craven, principal of Piner Elementary School in Morning City, KY. 
Ms. Jo Price Craven was recently honored by the National Association of 
Elementary School Principals as one of the recipients of the 2008 
National Distinguished Principals Award.
  The National Distinguished Principals Program was established in 1984 
as an annual event to honor exemplary elementary school principals who 
set the pace, character, and quality of the education children receive 
during their early school years. One principal is chosen from each of 
the 50 States and the District of Columbia, and this year Ms. Jo Price 
Craven has been selected as a National Distinguished Principal from the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky.
  Throughout her time at Piner Elementary School, Principal Jo Price 
Craven has displayed herself to be an example of excellence in primary 
education. Her educational philosophy fosters a school environment that 
is considerate and challenging to allow teachers at Piner Elementary to 
mobilize and enhance student performance.
  Kentuckians are extremely proud of Ms. Jo Price Craven. I am honored 
to pay tribute to her, and I encourage my colleagues to join me in 
wishing Principal Craven continued success as she continues her 
exceptional work in education.
