  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to bring to your 
attention the national recognition received by Governor Bent Elementary 
School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The team at Governor Bent Elementary 
is highlighted in a report by the Fordham Foundation for their 
effective teaching techniques.
  Governor Bent is known for expecting a lot from all their students. 
There are no excuses, all students can do quality work. Creativity is 
fostered for the success of the students, parents, teachers and all 
staff. The results are high student test scores and student enrollment 
from outside their attendance area.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the Principal Marilyn 
Davenport and the team at Governor Bent Elementary School for their 
contributions to students and to the future of our community.

                          ____________________
