RECOGNIZING ROCK L. BUTLER 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
an outstanding group of students from Wellsboro, Pennsylvania.
The team from Rock L. Butler Middle School recently placed fifth in
the Nation in this year's Capitol Hill Challenge, a remarkable
achievement.
The 16-week financial education competition brings together thousands
of student teams from across the country, each tasked with investing a
hypothetical $100,000 in the stock market. The goal: to learn the
fundamentals of financial literacy, teamwork, and long-term investing.
Competing against students from every congressional district, the
Rock L. Butler team stood out not only for their strong returns but for
their discipline, collaboration, and commitment to learning. Their
performance reflects the dedication of their teachers and the support
of the Wellsboro community.
I had the pleasure of meeting these students during their visit to
Washington, and I can confidently say the future is in good hands.
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Rock L. Butler Middle School team on
this incredible accomplishment.
