                     WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

   Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise to recognize Westminster 
Christian Academy in St. Louis on winning the Region 3 award at the We 
the People . . . The Citizen and the Constitution national finals held 
on April 21-23, 2001.
  This award is presented to the school in each of five geographic 
regions with the highest cumulative score during the national finals. 
The students of Westminster Christian Academy competed against 49 
classes throughout the Nation. They demonstrated a remarkable 
understanding of the fundamental ideas and values of American 
constitutional Government.
  I had the pleasure to meet with this group of outstanding students 
during their visit in April, and I am pleased to congratulate them and 
their teacher Mr. Ken Boesch on such a fine accomplishment. I also 
congratulate Westminster Christian Academy as well, for proving to be a 
model school that has installed an example that should be followed by 
schools throughout the nation. Through hard work, dedication, and 
discipline they have surpassed the medium.
