             CONGRATULATING HORIZON COMMUNITY MIDDLE SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE COFFMAN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 2016

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Horizon 
Community Middle School for their participation at the White House 
Science Fair and for their recognition as a Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 
National Winner.
  A classroom of 40 seventh and eighth graders designed and produced a 
fully functioning prosthetic limb for local disabled Marine Corps 
veteran, Kyle Kelly. The limb was designed to help Kyle live a more 
active lifestyle, even allowing him to hike, ski, and skateboard 
comfortably.
  Three students from the Horizon group, Simon-Peter Frimpong, Grayson 
Fast, and Maya Maxfield-Villard presented this project to President 
Obama at the annual White House Science Fair on April 13th.
  It's inspiring to see students taking an interest in solving real-
world problems through STEM while also helping veterans in need. These 
student innovators serve as an example for students throughout Colorado 
and the United States.
  I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the students and 
teachers of Horizon Community Middle School for all of your hard work 
on this important cause.
