                        Friday, August 10, 2018

  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the efforts of 
Crystal Certain, an art teacher at Conway High School, who is committed 
to making a difference in central Arkansas.
  Crystal partnered with the Community Action Program of Central 
Arkansas to provide food to hungry children in our community.
  She started by funding the project out of her own pocket and the 
practice grew into a classroom food-pantry project. Her students named 
it the ``Certain Little Free Class Pantry''.
  Nearly 400 children at her school get nourishing food from her pantry 
project.
  The Community Action Program of Central Arkansas is providing meals 
during the summer months and is operating the project from inside the 
agency's pantry.
  In addition to providing meals, Crystal also provides students with 
healthy recipes that they can prepare for themselves.
  I am proud to represent her and all of the teachers of central 
Arkansas who are making a difference in the lives of our young people.
