                       Monday, February 22, 2010

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 100th 
anniversary of Scottsdale's Little Red Schoolhouse. The schoolhouse has 
been a prominent pillar within the Scottsdale community since its 
beginnings and an important historic marker of how far the city has 
developed.
  Since its construction in 1910, the schoolhouse has continuously 
evolved to match the needs of a flourishing community. Originally 
designed as a school for eight students, the schoolhouse now serves as 
a historical museum under the leadership of the Scottsdale Historical 
Society. Over its many years, it has also served as a polling place, a 
Sunday school, a county court office and as Scottsdale's Town Hall.
  The schoolhouse fostered the growth of the community and symbolizes 
Scottsdale's continued prosperity. I am confident that the schoolhouse 
will continue to thrive and serve Scottsdale for the next 100 years.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in commemorating Scottsdale's Little 
Red Schoolhouse, and expressing gratitude to all of the volunteers and 
advocates of historical preservation who have made this special 
celebration possible.
