                     CONGRATULATIONS TO TODD KIMZEY

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. RANDY ``DUKE'' CUNNINGHAM

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 16, 2003

  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Todd Kimzey 
of Loma Elementary School.
  Todd is the Grand Champion of the grades 4/5 Greater San Diego 24 
Challenge Math Program. I want to applaud him for his success.
  The 24 Challenge Math Program is an activity which helps young 
students learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide. It has been 
used in more than one-hundred-thousand classrooms around the world to 
teach basic mathematics. Becoming the grand champion of such a 
competition is quite an accomplishment.
  During the 2000-2001 school year, more than 640 elementary and middle 
school classrooms throughout San Diego County received 24 game 
materials to be used with second- through eighth-grade students. A U.S. 
Department of Education grant provided for 24 Game Mathematics Club 
kits to be sent to participating classrooms in San Diego County. The 
fruits of this small but worthy contribution can be seen in Todd's 
triumph.
  I enjoyed meeting this young man and other competitors at this local 
program within my district. It is truly a pleasure to meet these bright 
students and their families.
