RECOGNIZING FORSYTH COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL FOR NATIONAL ATHLETIC TRAINERS' 
                  ASSOCIATION SAFE SCHOOL SPORTS AWARD

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize 
Forsyth Country Day School in Lewisville, North Carolina, on receiving 
the National Athletic Trainers' Association Safe Schools Sports Award. 
This honor is given to academic institutions that demonstrate 
excellence in prioritizing safe athletic programs that keep students 
injury-free.
  Students' health and safety should always come first. However, often 
in our culture, health and safety take a back seat when students face 
high pressure to compete and perform. Such risks are counterproductive 
to the personal growth that schools like Forsyth Country Day School 
strive to foster through their athletic programs.
  I applaud Forsyth Country Day School on its authentic dedication to 
students' development through athletics. I commend its administrators, 
faculty, and coaches for earning this prestigious award.
