               RECOGNIZING SAINT MARYS AREA MIDDLE SCHOOL

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Saint Marys Area Middle School in Saint Marys, Pennsylvania.
  On March 17, students and staff participated in the Mini-THON. This 
is a smaller service of Penn State University's THON.
  Throughout the day, students participated in various activities to 
raise money for the Four Diamonds fund to assist children and families 
in their battle with cancer.
  One of the many ways students raised funds was through the ``duct 
tape your principal'' challenge. This brought in over $900. Dom Surra, 
the assistant principal, was duct-taped to the gymnasium wall.
  Due to the tremendous support from students, staff, and the 
community, Saint Marys Area Middle School raised more than $12,237.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the students and staff 
for this tremendous achievement for such a righteous cause.
