HERE THEY GO AGAIN
(Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the students of
South Glens Falls. Here they go again, as they celebrate another year
of extraordinary commitment to their community.
Earlier this month, they hosted their 47th annual South High Marathon
Dance, a student-led event to raise money for worthy causes, from
dedicated community organizations to local families in need.
This year they raised nearly $750,000, adding to an astonishing total
of more than $11 million raised since 1978.
I was honored to join them at this year's event where I saw firsthand
the enthusiasm and compassion that keep this tradition alive.
United by music, dance, and a spirit of giving, these leaders of
today and tomorrow demonstrate the power that lies in a commitment to
community and a desire to do good--tremendous good.
To the students of South Glens Falls, I extend my congratulations on
another incredible year of giving and my heartfelt thanks for filling
me with inspiration and hope for our collective future.
Go Bulldogs. They are a loving and caring inspiration and strength
for our future.
