                       Monday, November 16, 2009

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 
students of the Plano West Senior High School, Shepton High School and 
Jasper High School joint FFA chapter on the achievement of Two-Star 
recognition in the 2009 Future Farmers of America National Chapter 
Award program.
  According to the National FFA Organization, ``The National Chapter 
Award program is designed to award FFA chapters who actively implement 
the mission and strategies of the organization. Based on a chapter's 
Program of Activities (POA) local FFA chapters are recognized for 
working in established areas called ``quality standards.'' The 
standards are organized into three divisions: Student development; 
Chapter development and Community development.''
  The PWSH-SHS-JHS Chapter has had a tremendous year of competition and 
community service leading up to this award.
  The group received its Two-Star award at the 82nd National FFA 
Convention, October 21-24, 2009 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Six students 
and the program advisor, Cristen Fowler, were able to attend.
