                       Wednesday, April 10, 2013

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker I rise today to congratulate the 50th 
Anniversary of the Grey Nun Academy, a private Catholic school located 
within my district that serves pre-kindergarteners through the eighth 
grade.
  Founded in 1963, the Grey Nun Academy opened in 1963 as the 
D'Youville Manor Academy in honor of Saint Margurite D'Youville, who 
founded the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart. Since then, The Grey Nun 
Academy has evolved into a school of 200 boys and girls. In 2009, the 
faculty of Gray Nun's educational work was recognized on the national 
level when the school was named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by 
the US Department of Education. Grey Nun Academy prides itself in 
creating a nurturing educational environment that encourages students 
to learn about themselves, and their faith.
  As a lifelong resident of Bucks county, I greatly admire the Grey Nun 
Academy. Their commitment to creating exceptional students is highly 
valued within the community. Institutions such as the Grey Nun Academy 
are learning environments graced with dedicated teachers, 
administrators, and students. Grey Nun provides students with a strong 
foundation for success that influences their young students well into 
adulthood.
  I am pleased to congratulate the Grey Nun Academy on its successes 
over the past 50 years and I hope that the Grey Nun Academy may provide 
a safe and compassionate learning environment in the coming years.
