RECOGNIZING RUTH MOYER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN FORT THOMAS, KENTUCKY
(Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the
students, faculty, and staff at Ruth Moyer Elementary School in Fort
Thomas, Kentucky. Last fall, Ruth Moyer was named a 2009 Blue Ribbon
School. The Blue Ribbon Schools program honors schools that are
academically superior or demonstrate dramatic gains in student
achievement at all levels. These schools are models for others
throughout the Nation.
I had the opportunity to meet students and faculty at Ruth Moyer and
speak with them about their efforts to improve their school. The
students and staff were unable to be here today in Washington to
receive our congratulations because they are working hard in the
classroom to uphold their high standards. However, the students in Mrs.
Greene's class sent a distinguished ambassador to represent them in
Washington.
Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in welcoming Flat Stanley
from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, to the House of Representatives and
extending our congratulations to the community at Ruth Moyer Elementary
for their outstanding achievement.
