        RECOGNIZING THE CAMBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TAMMY BALDWIN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 1, 2005

  Ms. BALDWIN. Mr. Speaker, for more than 10 years, the Cambridge High 
School Environmental Club has performed valuable community service. 
Their activities have ranged from collecting of old cell phones to be 
recycled to puppet shows that promote ecology lessons for children. The 
club's recent research at Custer State Park in the Badlands of South 
Dakota is a fine example of their desire to be active at both the local 
and national level. They are a diverse group of ``active 
environmentalists'' whose lives and goals are as varied as the projects 
that they have taken on. Living together for 14 days, the club worked 
as an environmental research team at Custer State Park. The club, using 
the advanced protocols of a professional research team, performed 
chemical tests and journaled about their research at night. These 
students have experienced a life lesson that is of far greater value 
than anything that could be read in a textbook. It is with great pride 
that I congratulate the Cambridge High School Environmental Club, and 
the leadership of their student advisor, Ed Grunden, for their 
commitment to environmental research and awareness.
