            TITAN ROBOTICS FROM TRINITY SCHOOL AT GREENLAWN

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Titan 
Robotics team from Trinity School at Greenlawn in South Bend. Next 
week, they will travel to California to compete in the Legoland North 
American Open Invitational Championship.
  I recently had the opportunity to speak with these students about 
their project, in which they were challenged to find new ways to help 
the environment.
  They discovered that recycling labels on plastic wrappers were often 
hidden or unclear, making consumers less likely to recycle. After hours 
of research, they proposed a solution: a new label with the recycle 
symbol that would wrap around the plastic wrappers on the outside, 
making it easier to see if the product is recyclable. And they proposed 
a different label to inform consumers if the product is not recyclable.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend these kids for their hard work and wish them 
the best of luck at their competition.
  I also want to thank the parents, coaches, teachers, principals, and 
everyone in the community who supported them.
