      IN HONOR OF KELLOGG MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TIMOTHY J. WALZ

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 23, 2013

  Mr. WALZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Kellogg Middle 
School in Rochester, Minnesota.
   Named after the Honorable Frank Kellogg, a citizen of Rochester who 
served as Secretary of State under President Coolidge, Kellogg Middle 
School celebrates its 50th year of existence in 2013.
   As a social studies teacher at Mankato West, I know how important it 
is to develop our next generation of leaders. The shared dedication of 
teachers, staff, and parents at Kellogg Middle School has produced 
grade-A education for the past half-century and will continue to 
nurture students for years to come.
   Secretary Kellogg devoted his life to the cause of peace and was 
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1929. Kellogg Middle School carries on 
his legacy by teaching students to work together so everyone can 
achieve their full potential. That's a lesson for us all.
   Over the last half century, the Frank B. Kellogg Middle School has 
instilled its proud tradition of education and excellence into their 
students today. The Kellogg Middle School is the oldest middle school 
in Rochester, and remains to this day the choice for students, parents, 
and teachers alike.
   Just as Secretary Kellogg serves as an inspiration for southern 
Minnesotans, I am confident that Kellogg Middle School provides its 
graduates with the skills they need to succeed and maybe even one day 
win a Nobel Prize.
   Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Kellogg Middle School for 
its 50 years of service to the students of Rochester.
