  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Krissy Venosdale 
of Missouri City, TX, for being selected as a participant in the 2017 
PBS Digital Innovators Program.
  Krissy, who serves as the Kinkaid School's lower school innovation 
coordinator, was recognized for developing the ``Launch Pad'' at her 
school. The ``Launch Pad'' is a space for students to expand their 
horizons in both a creative and technological fashion, using a blend of 
bright colors and high-tech tools to help students practice out-of-the-
box methods. Out of the 52 participants selected, Krissy is the only 
educator from TX to participate in the PBS Digital Innovators Program. 
As part of this program, Krissy will have access to ongoing 
professional development, share her ideas on PBS platforms, utilize the 
PBS LearningMedia resources and attend the 2017 PBS Digital Summit this 
summer.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Krissy Venosdale for being selected as a 
participant in the 2017 PBS Digital Innovators Program. We are 
extremely proud and are looking forward to her future innovative 
educational platforms.
