 CONGRATULATING THE SEVEN LAKES HIGH SCHOOL PRESS STAFF FOR FINISHING 
                STRONG IN THE FACE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC

                                  _____

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 22, 2020

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Seven 
Lakes High School press staff on their hard work and dedication in 
completing their school yearbook amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
  With schools being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, it would 
have been easy for the Seven Lakes High School press staff to stop 
working on their yearbook and final newspaper edition until they were 
certain what would happen with the rest of their school year. Yet these 
incredible students refused to let COVID-19 stop them. When they 
realized that the coronavirus would bring their school year to an early 
end, these students turned lemons into lemonade.
  Using video conferencing software to host meetings, the Seven Lakes 
High School press staff would regularly pitch stories and develop plans 
to complete their yearbook and final newspaper. Often, these students 
would continue working on it after the school day had ended. Thanks to 
their hard work and perseverance, the students of Seven Lakes High 
School will have a record of the memories they made during the school 
year with their yearbook and final newspaper edition.
  On behalf of the 22nd Congressional District of Texas, I would like 
to congratulate the press staff of Seven Lakes High School for 
completing their work in the face of incredible odds. The Katy 
community is very proud of them.
