                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 8, 2014

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Don Farr, the 
principal of Monmouth-Roseville Junior High School, who has been named 
the Middle School Principal of the Year by Horace Mann and the Illinois 
Principals Association.
   Principal Farr has served as a principal for 17 years. He is active 
in the Illinois Principals Association as well as numerous community 
organizations, including the Roseville Community Center, the Warren 
County YMCA, the Roseville Masonic Lodge and the Monmouth Chamber of 
Commerce. He also passes on his experience by teaching classes in 
Middle School Methods and Strategies at Monmouth College.
   As a proud mother of three sons who were educated by our public 
schools, I know firsthand the importance of administrators who work 
with teachers and the community to create a positive school climate and 
do what is best for our students. I'm glad that the Illinois Principals 
Association and Horace Mann are recognizing and honoring Principal Farr 
for his excellent work.
   Mr. Speaker, I want to again congratulate Principal Farr for his 
outstanding efforts on behalf of students in our community and wish him 
the best in the National Middle School Principal of the Year awards.
