  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Kara McConnell for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award. Kara McConnell is an 8th grader at North Arvada Middle 
School and received this award because her determination and hard work 
have allowed her to overcome adversities.
   The dedication demonstrated by Kara McConnell is exemplary of the 
type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. It is essential students at all levels strive to make the 
most of their education and develop a work ethic which will guide them 
for the rest of their lives.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Kara McConnell for winning 
the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all of her 
future accomplishments.
