                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MARSHA BLACKBURN

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 16, 2015

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, James A. Garfield said that ``Next in 
importance to freedom and justice is education, without which neither 
freedom nor justice can be maintained''. Even though President 
Garfield's presidency was short, he proclaimed the value of and set 
standards for better education in our nation. Being a former teacher he 
valued the public education system.
  A strong education base in Elementary, Middle and High School is 
essential for continuous growth. Educators, students, and communities 
who accomplish academic achievement and growth should be recognized. I 
am honored to congratulate Ramer School for being named a ``Reward 
School'' for the 2014-15 academic school year. To be one of only 5% in 
the state and one of only six in rural west Tennessee to achieve this 
status is an accomplishment for any school. And to make it more 
newsworthy, this is the second time in four years for Ramer to receive 
this award. We celebrate the hard work and dedication of your students, 
teachers, parents, and administrators.
  Ramer School, you are building a great foundation in the lives of 
future contributing adults. I congratulate you.
