  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Ryan Pfankuch for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award. Ryan Pfankuch is a 7th grader at Drake Middle School 
and received this award because his determination and hard work have 
allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Ryan Pfankuch is exemplary of the type 
of achievement that can be attained with hard work and perseverance. It 
is essential students at all levels strive to make the most of their 
education and develop a work ethic which will guide them for the rest 
of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Ryan Pfankuch for winning the 
Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no doubt 
he will exhibit the same dedication and character in all his future 
accomplishments.
