  Ms. PINGREE of Maine. I would like to congratulate a group of 
students in my district who have earned a national title in their 
understanding of constitutional issues in a changing world.
  Participating in the national round of this year's We the People 
competition in April, Isabella Burke, Catherine Pouliot, and Samantha 
Silver of Marshwood High School in South Berwick, Maine, took first 
place in the unit on ``What challenges might face American 
constitutional democracy in the twenty-first century?''
  I am very proud of the level at which these students performed 
especially on a question of such importance to our country.
  I would also like to congratulate advisor Matt Sanzone and the rest 
of the Marshwood team for making it to nationals for a fifth year. It 
is an incredible statement of this school's dedication in teaching 
students the foundations of American democracy.
