                       Thursday, December 6, 2018

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Great Wall 
Chinese Academy in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. On Sundays, classes on 
Chinese language and culture, to include fitness classes, are taught at 
the Great Wall Chinese Academy to serve the entire Denver Metropolitan 
area. It is my honor to recognize the achievements of this vital part 
of our community here in the United States House of Representatives.
  Originally founded in 2004, the Great Wall Chinese Academy offers 
classes to students of all ages, as well as adults, in various 
subjects, from Chinese dances and martial arts, to sports and 
educational tutoring. Every class is open to students from all 
backgrounds as the Great Wall Chinese School strives to achieve its 
mission of, ``preparing our students to better face tomorrow's 
challenges by offering Chinese language lessons, cultural enrichment, 
and life-long skill training, all in an environment that promotes 
positivity, encouragement and sense of community.''
  I would also like to recognize President and co-founder Dongqing Wei, 
and Principal and co-founder Shaomei Cheng for all their work at the 
Great Wall Chinese Academy. Their leadership has guided the Great Wall 
Chinese Academy to be an excellent school, and valuable asset to the 
state of Colorado that it is today. I look forward to and wish the 
Great Wall Chinese Academy continued success in its future.
