                        Thursday, April 28, 2016

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Fort Lupton 
Middle School for its recognition as an Advancement Via Individual 
Determination (AVID) National Demonstration school and an AVID School 
of Distinction, as well as for winning the coveted Game Plan for 
Success Award.
  These merits are most deserved. Staying true to their motto, ``Every 
Student, Every Day, Achieves and Learns,'' the students, teachers, and 
administration of Fort Lupton have dedicated themselves to the pursuit 
of education and the pursuit of college and career readiness.
  If you walk through Fort Lupton, you will see data from the latest 
benchmark exams displayed throughout the building, celebrating success 
and conveying the need to work hard and aim high. It is because of the 
school's commitment to hard work and data-driven teaching that they 
have earned the prestigious Game Plan for Success Award. To honor this 
achievement, U.S. Women's National Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe presented 
the school with the $5,000 prize and shared with the students tips for 
success in and out of the classroom.
  Today, I also honor the principal of Fort Lupton Middle School, 
Candace Kensinger. Ms. Kensinger has shown incredible leadership and 
her passion for education is an inspiration for students and educators 
alike.
  Mr. Speaker, I send my sincerest congratulations to the entire Fort 
Lupton Middle School community. Their academic success serves as an 
example throughout Colorado and the United States of America.
