      HONORING THE EIGHTH GRADE CLASS OF GATES-CHILI MIDDLE SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS M. REYNOLDS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2001

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome the eighth grade 
class of Gates-Chili Middle School, who arrived in Washington today.
  These outstanding students have come to our nation's Capitol not only 
to experience first-hand our government and history, but to show their 
respect and gratitude to America's World War II veterans. While here, 
they will be presenting a donation to the American Legion to help build 
the World War II Memorial.
  More than two generations removed from the Second World War, these 
young men and women dedicated their time and their energy to raise 
$1,000 for the memorial fund. Through a mass production project, the 
Team 8C Coolaids (as they called themselves), produced CD racks that 
were sold in school and throughout the community, with the help of the 
Parent-Teachers Organization.
  Mr. Speaker, I am extremely proud of these students for their hard 
work, and for their commitment to ensuring that the sacrifices endured, 
and the triumph ensured by our nation's World War II veterans will 
forever be remembered. I ask that this entire Congress join me in 
saluting the hard work, service and devoting of the eighth grade class 
at Gates-Chili Middle School.
