        RECOGNIZING ST ANN'S SCHOOL 148 YEARS OF EDUCATING YOUTH

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 11, 2012

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize St Ann's School of 
Hornell, New York for educating the youth of the 29th district for 148 
years. On Wednesday, June 20th, St Ann's school closed its doors for 
the final time, bringing to a close a long legacy of providing a strong 
Catholic education to the children of the Southern Tier.
  Since its founding in 1863, St Ann's School has committed itself not 
just to the development of the skills necessary for learning, but to 
the development of the whole child. Operating in an atmosphere 
permeated by Christian values, St Ann's School has long provided 
families with an affordable option to instill in their children the 
intellectual, emotional, and spiritual values necessary to become 
outstanding citizens.
  It has been my privilege to represent St Ann's School for the past 2 
years, and although I regret the decision that was made to close the 
school, I am truly thankful for its deep commitment to the education of 
the children of the 29th District of New York.
