                        Wednesday, June 7, 2000

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize the 
Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering [WYSE] team from Metro-East 
Lutheran High School in Edwardsville, IL. The students on the team 
placed on the state level for the first time ever.
  As a former teacher myself at Metro-East Lutheran High School, I am 
proud of their accomplishments. Their commitment to doing their best 
and academic achievement deserves our acknowledgment.
  I also would like to take this opportunity to recognize WYSE coach, 
Ms. Chrystal Boerger. This was her last year, as she is leaving to 
pursue her master's degree. It takes coaches and teachers like her to 
give students the opportunity to learn and grow.
