being selected as one of Pennsylvania's top youth volunteers of 2016 by 
Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.
   Kendra is a senior at Meyersdale Area High School, and one of the 
29,000 students across the United States to participate in the 21st 
annual Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program. Kendra helped her 
high school raise $5,000 to support breast cancer research by 
sponsoring a ``Flamingo Flocking'' pink flamingo event. Kendra is also 
the President of her school's student council, organizes community 
cleanup days along with other school activities and fundraisers.
   Mr. Speaker, the example set by Kendra is one we all should strive 
for. Her willingness to serve her community and Pennsylvania sets her 
apart as an outstanding individual and I am honored to represent her in 
the United States Congress. I ask that all of my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Kendra 
for this achievement and wishing her nothing but continued success.
