                       Thursday, January 22, 2015

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor St. Daniel the 
Prophet School, an exemplary Catholic school in Chicago, Illinois, 
which is celebrating its 65th anniversary.
   Part of the Archdiocese of Chicago school system, St. Daniel offers 
a quality education to its students and teaches them the core pillars 
of the Catholic faith. The school's administration believes that 
parents, students, and teachers share in the process and responsibility 
of education. Parents and teachers are co-learners with the students 
and are encouraged to teach through example to provide an environment 
that encourages growth, communication, and Christian acceptance of all 
individuals. The collaborative effort of the parents and teachers 
provides for a supportive and nurturing environment in which students 
have unlimited growth potential.
   The school offers many extracurricular activities as well as 
community-building events. Students can participate in chess club, 
choir, band, or sports among various other activities. St. Daniel 
promotes an environmentally friendly lifestyle by offering a recycling 
program. I commend St. Daniel the Prophet for going above and beyond by 
expanding their teachings outside the classroom.
   The hard work of Pastor John Noga and Principal Mary Frances Porod 
has not gone unnoticed. They are well deserving of praise along with 
the outstanding teachers and administrative staff who work tirelessly 
for the benefit of their students.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing St. 
Daniel the Prophet School and congratulate them as they celebrate their 
65th anniversary. May St. Daniel continue to exhibit excellence and 
create an outstanding learning environment for our future leaders.
