  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Marissa 
Farrugia, the winner of the Silver Knight Award in the world languages 
discipline. The Silver Knight Award is bestowed to high school students 
in Broward and Miami-Dade County for outstanding academic achievement 
and noteworthy contributions to their community.
  Marissa's fluency in Spanish and Hebrew is a testament to her 
intellectual capabilities. Beyond her linguistic pursuits, she has 
actively participated in the Teen Political Forum, bridging the gap 
between students and elected officials to foster productive discourse. 
Her efforts to raise public awareness about heart health in memory of 
her late grandfather are commendable. She has raised nearly $1,000 for 
the American Heart Association and has advocated through social media 
and her role as president of the Science National Honor Society.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Ms. Marissa Farrugia as a 
remarkable student and exceptional contributor to the discipline of 
world languages.
