         HONORING FORT WORTH POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL CHEER TEAM

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Parrots of 
Polytechnic High School and their cheer team on their future 
performance at the 90th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. On 
November 23, squad members will showcase their talent to the millions 
at home watching this parade in New York and around the country.
  Out of the many video submissions, the team was selected for their 
athleticism and enthusiasm. But most importantly, they embodied values 
fitting of Thanksgiving: a spirit of gratitude and togetherness.
  While their achievement came as a result of the team's tireless 
effort, I also want to thank their head coach, Rayneta Dotson, for her 
dedication and commitment to the Polytechnic High School cheer team.
  The entire Fort Worth community is so proud of these exceptional 
students. I wish them a safe trip to the Big Apple and congratulations 
on their achievement.
