FUTURE PROBLEM SOLVERS
(Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an inspiring group
of middle school students from Heath Middle School and Calloway County
Middle School.
The First District of Kentucky was well represented at the Future
Problem Solving Program International's 2018 conference at the
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Teams from these two schools
competed against their peers from across the globe.
Both teams placed in the top 10 internationally, with the team from
Heath Middle School placing eighth and the all-girls team from Calloway
County placing ninth.
Throughout the conference, the students experienced new cultures,
enjoyed trading keepsakes from around the world, and socialized with
students from many countries and States.
I am grateful for the efforts of all involved in helping these
students achieve their goals and for encouraging them to pursue
interactive, holistic learning to prepare themselves for the future.
I join with their family, friends, and teachers to congratulate these
exceptional students on their outstanding efforts and look forward to
their continued contributions to the First District of Kentucky.
