  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Grace 
Wang, recipient of a Siemens Foundation award for her excellence in the 
College Board's Advanced Placement program courses and exams in the 
area of science and mathematics.
  The Siemens Foundation has actively supported science, technology, 
engineering and mathematics education. Each year, the Foundation 
provides more than $7 million in support of education initiatives. The 
Foundation supports programs from grade school through graduate school 
to encourage students to achieve their potential. The Siemens Awards 
for Advanced Placement provides $2,000 college scholarships for two 
students in each state based on grades and scores in AP science and 
math classes.
  Grace Wang, a student at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and 
Technology, has excelled in her AP science and math classes. Through 
her hard work, she has proven that she is one of the best and brightest 
in the nation. She is a shining example of the achievements of students 
in the area of math and science.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating 
Grace Wang for this honor. She truly is an example of our nation's 
promising future in the science and technology fields.
