                         Tuesday, May 13, 2003

  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Salford Hills 
Elementary School of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, which is 
celebrating its 50th anniversary on May 20, 2003.
  Since it was created out of five one-room schoolhouses in 1953, 
Salford Hills Elementary School has been constantly growing. Its 
teachers and staff have done a remarkable job of molding students into 
outstanding citizens in the community. In 1993, the school was named as 
a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the United States 
Department of Education, the highest honor that a school can receive.
  Salford Hills Elementary School provides an excellent educational 
environment in which students are encouraged to achieve and develop 
responsibility for their own educations through hard work and 
reflection. Salford Hills Elementary prides itself on ensuring that all 
students receive the positive support and attention that they need to 
learn and achieve.
  I commend Salford Hills Elementary School on its 50 years of service 
to its students and to the greater Montgomery County community.
