        TRIBUTE TO SILAS BROWN IV AND RECOGNIZING JONES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
     
      Mr. OSSOFF. Madam President, I rise to honor and commend Mr. 
     Silas Brown and the teachers, faculty, and staff at Jones Elementary 
     School in Bremen, GA. This year, the U.S. Department of Education 
     recognized Jones Elementary School as a National Blue Ribbon School for 
     2022. The National Blue Ribbon award honors schools for overall 
     academic excellence or their progress in closing achievement gaps among 
     student groups, demonstrating that all students have opportunities to 
     achieve their maximum potential. Only six Georgia schools won this 
     prestigious award in 2022, demonstrating the unique achievements of Mr. 
     Brown and the entire team at Jones Elementary School.
       Jones Elementary School's curriculum is rooted in fundamental areas 
     of education, introducing students at early ages to reading, writing, 
     art, music, physical education, and STEM and preparing our next 
     generation to become leaders in our communities and country.
       As Georgia's U.S. Senator, it is my honor to commend Principal Silas 
     Brown and Jones Elementary School for this distinguished honor.
