                                 ______
                                 

               HONORING HAYS, KANSAS, PRINCIPAL ALAN PARK

 Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I rise to recognize an 
outstanding elementary school principal from Hays, Kansas. Alan Park, 
through dedication and hard work, has created an excellent after school 
program that has profoundly changed the lives of many young children in 
a positive way. The ``Serve Our Children'' program at Washington 
Elementary School has connected economically disadvantaged students 
with vital community services. The beneficial results are numerous: 
free child care, extensive leadership development opportunities, and 
many tutorial programs. Not only has Mr. Park integrated the use of 
computers within the school, he has helped pass a district bond to 
create a new addition to the school.
  Mr. President, I am proud to recognize the outstanding 
accomplishments of this elementary school principal. Mr. Park is an 
exemplary role model for young people in Kansas as well as our nation. 
I congratulate Mr. Alan Park for all he has done for Washington 
Elementary School and the community of Hays, Kansas.
