                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. BRADLEY S. SCHNEIDER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 5, 2013

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Twin Groves Middle 
School in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, in the district I represent. This 
outstanding educational institution has been recognized as one of only 
286 Blue Ribbon schools in the entire country.
  This is the second National Blue Ribbon distinction that Twin Groves 
has earned, one of 21 awarded in the state, one of only three awarded 
to Illinois middle schools and one of four awarded to schools in 
Illinois's Tenth District.
  Good education is the foundation of any community, and it is 
essential to our success in the 21st Century. In Buffalo Grove, you 
will find some of the nation's finest schools, filled with eager and 
curious students and passionate and engaging teachers.
  In Illinois's Tenth District, our communities are strong, in part, 
because of excellent educational institutions like Twin Groves.
  With schools like Twin Groves, Tenth District students are building 
foundations for success in this ever-changing, competitive 21st 
Century.
  The education Twin Groves Middle School students receive not only 
helps position them for future success, but also prepares them for the 
rigors of one of the area's top high schools, Stevenson High.
  Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to honor Twin Groves Middle School here 
today, and I am so proud to have such excellent schools in the Tenth 
District. I congratulate Twin Groves once again on receiving this 
distinguished award.
