                  TRIBUTE TO ADVENTIST CHURCH SCHOOLS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB SCHAFFER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 4, 2001

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the children of 
the Adventist Church Schools of Colorado. These children are donating 
two dollars each to support the children in Afghanistan and victims of 
the September 11th terrorist attacks. For this, Mr. Speaker, the United 
States Congress should commend them.
  The children in the Colorado division of the Adventist Church Schools 
have responded to President Bush's call to have America's youth donate 
one dollar to the children of Afghanistan. Moreover, they are giving an 
additional dollar to support the children of New York City. There are 
twenty-one schools in Colorado participating in this program. The money 
raised will significantly help those in need.
  In recognizing these children, Pat Chapman, of the Rocky Mountain 
Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, said, ``The program will benefit 
a lot of children in Afghanistan, as well, as many children in New 
York.'' These exemplary children are excellent role models for our 
country.
  The children in the Colorado division of the Adventist Church Schools 
are committed to helping in this time of tragedy. They are an example 
of the dedication and piety of America's youth. I ask the House to join 
me in extending our warmest congratulations to the children of the 
Adventist Church Schools of Colorado for their honorable efforts.
