                       TRIBUTE TO DARCY SCHINDLER

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Darcy Schindler of Granite County for his tremendous 
efforts to support his community during the ongoing coronavirus 
pandemic.
  Darcy has been a committed and passionate science teacher over the 
past 27 years. He joined the teaching ranks at Drummond High School 20 
years ago, where he continues to mentor and encourage countless 
students.
  When the coronavirus pandemic began spreading across the country, 
Darcy was hearing stories from his friends working in the medical and 
dental fields, that they were having a tough time finding protective 
masks.
  Darcy decided to take action and began volunteering his time and 
resources to create protective masks for our healthcare heroes and 
first responders on the frontlines of this ongoing coronavirus pandemic 
in Montana.
  With the school's permission, Darcy used the school's 3D printer to 
produce the protective masks. With support from those in the community, 
along with his own time and resources, Darcy has shipped well over 100 
masks across Montana. He has not taken any payments for his shipments. 
He only asks that they instead make a donation to the Drummond Schools 
Science Fund to help his students.
  It is my honor to recognize Darcy Schindler for his efforts to 
support our healthcare heroes and our first responders. His 
selflessness and commitment to serve others is an extraordinary example 
of how Montanans are stepping up in the face of this pandemic to help 
one another. I thank Darcy Schindler for his efforts to help the 
Drummond community and communities all across Montana.
