  Mr. TROTT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the bright young 
artists in Mrs. Bares's 3rd grade class at Houghton Elementary in White 
Lake, Michigan.
  I know that artists get their start long before high school and 
college, learning to expand their imagination and foster their 
creativity in classrooms just like Mrs. Bares's.
  In an effort to highlight young artists from across Michigan's 11th 
Congressional District, this year, I announced the 1st Annual ``Color 
my Capitol'' Program.
  Brimming with talent, Mrs. Bares's students were eager to showcase 
their amazing artistic skills and take part in this one-of-a-kind 
program.
  Let me tell you, Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Bares's 3rd graders did not 
disappoint. Their creations are unique, innovative, and imaginative. 
Their colorful artwork embodies our country's bright and promising 
future with these sharp young minds leading the way.
  It is my utmost honor to have their artwork displayed in my 
Congressional district office in Troy, Michigan for everyone who visits 
to enjoy. Each and every time I walk into my office, I am reminded of 
their talent.
  Congratulations to Mrs. Bares and the young artists she has the 
pleasure of teaching.
