           IN HONOR OF THE STUDENTS AT ANOKA HIGH SCHOOL, MN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHELE BACHMANN

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 30, 2009

  Mrs. BACHMANN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the students 
at Anoka High School. These students are taking their talents to the 
next level and joining with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation 
to help fellow students that are afflicted by this lifelong disease.
  Using the Tony Award-winning musical, Aida, as well as their 
reputation as one of Minnesota's best high school musical theater 
programs, students at Anoka High School are learning more than 
choreography and stage cues. They'll be raising money and awareness for 
juvenile diabetes. Through the ``Kids Showing They Care'' program, 
teens are able to be involved in a larger cause that affects their 
community and have the opportunity to use their talents and skills to 
help others. They can also see the growing impact of their seemingly 
small efforts and understand the importance of a collective effort in a 
successful production.
  I rise today to honor the students at Anoka High School who have 
taken on an ambitious endeavor today, producing a school musical, that 
will have a lifelong impact on themselves and others. I commend them 
for their desire to help others in need and their very mature sense of 
community.
