  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Stewart Home School 
in Frankfort, Kentucky, and to congratulate them on their 120th 
Anniversary. The mission of the Stewart Home School is the complete and 
total care of special needs students, as well as the fulfillment of all 
their needs--physical, educational, social, vocational and spiritual.
  Since 1893, Stewart Home School has provided a community where people 
live in a nurturing environment and participate in programs

designed to specifically meet their individual needs. Their students 
pursue skills in self-sufficiency, academics, and vocational programs 
in a setting that stimulates self-confidence and encourages personal 
happiness.
  Stewart Home School occupies the historic campus of the old Kentucky 
Military Institute, and is now on the National Register of Historic 
Places. The school offers a one-of-a-kind community where those with 
intellectual disabilities are appreciated for the people they are.
  The Stewart Home School embraces each student as an individual who 
desires meaningful activity, success, friendships, and acceptance, and 
strives to develop skills and talents in all areas of life.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in commending the 
Stewart Home School for the tireless efforts to improve the lives of 
their students and in congratulating them on their 120th anniversary. I 
extend my personal appreciation to the Stewart Home for all that they 
have done for our community. The Stewart Home School is a gem in the 
Sixth Congressional District of Kentucky, not only improving the lives 
of its students, but also bettering our Commonwealth.
