                       Thursday, January 18, 2018

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Wheaton 
Christian Grammar School in Winfield, Illinois on being named a 2017 
National Blue Ribbon Award winner. The National Blue Ribbon Award is 
presented to schools for outstanding academic performance and Wheaton 
Christian Grammar School is well-deserving of this recognition.
   Founded by local parents in 1942, Wheaton Christian Grammar School 
exists to educate, train, and nurture children for godliness and 
excellence, equipping them to engage and transform their world for 
Jesus Christ. Seventy-six years later, the dedication, persistent 
prayer, and sacrifice of those founding parents is evident in today's 
school which is widely recognized for its academic rigor, breadth of 
programming, and spiritual vitality.
   In order to unlock the full potential of its student body, Wheaton 
Christian Grammar School offers a variety of challenging opportunities 
to suit the interests of nearly every student. From after-school drama 
clubs, chess teams, spelling bees, community service programs, and 
athletic activities such as cross-country, soccer, and basketball, 
students at Wheaton Christian Grammar School participate in life 
experiences that help shape the character of each student, as well as 
provide them with an outstanding education.
   Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Wheaton Christian 
Grammar School on being named a 2017 National Blue Ribbon Award winner.
