  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to commend the 
students of Staunton High School who helped the city of Staunton, 
Illinois earn a Governor's Hometown Award. Collaborating with the 
Staunton Chamber of Commerce, the class created and maintained a web 
site for the community.
  The Art II class led by teacher, Gayle Scheller, contributed an 
amazing amount of time and energy into creating this outstanding web 
site. Thanks to their efforts, Staunton has the use of a powerful 
technological tool. In addition, the city has benefited from statewide 
recognition through the award bestowed by the Governor.
  This contribution by the Art II Class of Staunton High School has 
enhanced communication throughout the community, in addition to 
increasing the town's image. I would like to thank them for their 
contribution.
