                        Tuesday, October 6, 2009

  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Resurrection Elementary School in Dubuque, Iowa. The students, parents, 
faculty, and staff at Resurrection Elementary have earned the 2009 No 
Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School Award. Resurrection is one of 320 
schools in the United States and one of only 50 private schools that 
have earned the Blue Ribbon award this year.
  The Blue Ribbon School Award is given annually to a select number of 
schools that demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement. These 
schools are exemplary models that other schools can learn from. The 
students, families, faculty, and staff at Resurrection are a caring 
community. As part of the Holy Family Catholic School system, 
Resurrection is shaping students who believe in justice, peace, 
stewardship, academic and personal excellence, and civic 
responsibility.
  Resurrection Elementary has worked hard to be one of the best schools 
in the country. I'm proud to represent Resurrection Elementary and the 
entire Holy Family Catholic Schools community in Congress and look 
forward to their continued success.
