                          Monday, June 1, 2015

  Mr. MOONEY of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my 
warmest congratulations to six exceptional students from Musselman High 
School for winning scholarships from the H&R Block Budget Challenge; 
Shelbi Fisher, Mitch Anton, Kirsten Campbell, Vanessa Beddow, Taylor 
Stocks, Sarah Muskett, and their teacher Mr. Chad Spencer. In this 
challenge, these students managed a budget based on their current and 
future cash needs, as well as learn a number of important financial 
concepts. The reward for winning this challenge is a $20,000 
scholarship, which will help send these bright students to college.
  As a Member of the United States House of Representatives, I am 
particularly pleased when I see young people take initiative to learn 
about fiscal responsibility. The excellence these Musselman High School 
students have demonstrated by winning the H&R Block Budget Challenge 
Scholarships is an example of the promise that young West Virginians 
and Americans show.
  I join with their families, friends, and loved ones in congratulating 
the winning students from Musselman High School on this impressive 
accomplishment. I urge them to continue their hard work, and wish them 
all the best in their future endeavors.
