                      NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to honor a tremendous 
accomplishment. Middle School South in Harrison Township, Michigan, has 
been selected as a Michigan Exemplary School and a National Blue Ribbon 
School for 1997-98.
  Middle School South of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools, was one of 
two schools in the State of Michigan bestowed the honor of National 
Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. This selection 
is a tribute to the time and effort that the parents, administrators, 
teachers, and students have put into building an excellent learning 
environment. This prestigious award demonstrates what hard work and 
commitment can produce.
  Again, congratulations to all the teachers and students at Middle 
School South and the entire L'Anse Creuse Public School District. This 
is a distinguished award, and they deserve it. I wish them continued 
prosperity, and many more years of success.
