  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hanford Christian 
School on their 80-year anniversary and to thank them for their 
significant contributions to the Kings County community.
  Since its founding in 1944, Hanford Christian School has provided 
students with the tools they need to succeed in their personal and 
professional lives. Hanford Christian School pushes students in and out 
of the classroom to reach their academic potential, through a 
challenging curriculum, Christ-centered teaching, and hands-on learning 
experiences.
  The students, faculty, and families at Hanford Christian are 
dedicated to serving their community. Every year, they contribute to 
food drives and volunteer with the Salvation Army and Gleanings for the 
Hungry. Their community service impacts the community all year long, 
including during the holiday season when families donate blankets to 
the homeless and sing at retirement homes. These experiences at Hanford 
Christian and within the community empower students to become 
thoughtful leaders inside and outside the classroom.
  The dedication of the teachers and staff at Hanford Christian School 
plays a vital role in helping students across the Central Valley 
thrive. I want to thank the entire faculty for fostering a learning 
environment that helps our youth become the best they can be.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me in celebrating Hanford Christian School on their 80-year 
anniversary. Their work to enrich the lives of students in the Central 
Valley will be felt for generations to come.
