 RECOGNIZING SPRINGBROOK HIGH SCHOOL'S ACHIEVEMENT IN THE 2020 CAPITOL 
                             HILL CHALLENGE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JAMIE RASKIN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 15, 2020

  Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable 
accomplishment of my constituents, the excellent team from Springbrook 
High School that placed second in the 17th Annual Capitol Hill 
Challenge. I congratulate Nelson Alvarez and his teacher, Donald 
Wharton Jr., on their passionate commitment and impressive results in 
the Challenge during a time of economic uncertainty.
  Every year, with the support and participation of Congress, SIFMA 
Foundation's Capitol Hill Challenge instills in young people a deeper 
understanding of personal finance, economics and civics. Student teams 
manage and invest a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio of stocks, bonds, 
mutual funds, impact investments and cash. This national competition 
expands financial education, civics learning and math literacy for 
public school students in every US Congressional District.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize the extraordinary 
achievement of Mr. Alvarez and Mr. Wharton and I hope my colleagues and 
constituents will join me in congratulating Nelson Alvarez from 
Springbrook High School on a job well done.
