                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Lakewood High School for their tremendous compassion and character 
shown during the floods that happened in the State of Colorado in 
September. This high school located in Lakewood, Colorado must be 
acknowledged because they showed incredible spirit and support to other 
schools around Colorado during a time of emergency.
  After winning the Good Morning America Katy Perry contest, the 
students of Lakewood High School used their moment in the national 
spotlight to direct national attention towards other students 
throughout the state affected by the floods. There are countless 
stories of different student groups and organizations within the school 
sending supplies, money and support to other students who were in need 
the most. This is exemplary of the character and compassion the faculty 
instills in the students at this high school.
  I extend my deepest gratitude to Lakewood High School in their 
display of school spirit for their school and also for the State of 
Colorado. I am certain the students in this school will exhibit the 
same dedication and character in all of their future accomplishments.
