                      Wednesday, October 20, 2021

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Penn-
Mont Academy in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, as they celebrate their 
60th year providing a Montessori education to the students of our 
community.
  Penn-Mont Academy was founded in 1961 by Aline and Gerald Wolf, who 
founded the school in their home with a vision to create one of the 
first Montessori institutions in the United States.
  Over the past 60 years, the school has worked to provide a creative 
and insightful education that molds independent-and lifelong learners.
  This school is important to my family and me. My wife, Dr. Alice 
Plummer Joyce, was one of the school's first graduates.
  I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding work that The Penn-Mont 
Academy does in our community. From the Wolfs front porch to their 
current home in Hollidaysburg the Penn-Mont Academy has offered 
generations of students the foundation they need to succeed.
  The school's commitment to educating the children of Blair County is 
exceptional, and I look forward to their continued work to support and 
inspire our future leaders.
  On behalf of the people of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional 
District, I congratulate the students, staff, and administration of 
Penn-Mont Academy on reaching this historic milestone and wish them 
every continued success in the years to come.
