                  SAINT LEO THE GREAT CATHOLIC SCHOOL

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Saint Leo the Great Catholic School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 
for being named a No Child Left Behind nationally recognized Blue 
Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. The Blue Ribbon 
Schools program honors K-12 schools that are academically superior in 
their State or demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement.
  Saint Leo the Great is one of just 10 North Carolina schools to 
receive this prestigious award. In fact, it is the only private school 
in the entire State to achieve this recognition. Not only am I proud of 
the students and faculty at Saint Leo for their academics, I am also 
proud of them for their compassion. Following Hurricane Katrina, the 
students at Saint Leo reached out to their peers at Saint Clement of 
Rome, a fellow nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School in Louisiana. 
The students at Saint Leo made congratulatory cards and sent individual 
blue ribbons to the students and teachers at Saint Clement. They also 
raised money to pay travel expense for the principal of Saint Clement 
to receive the Blue Ribbon Award in Washington, DC.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the students, faculty 
and staff at Saint Leo the Great Catholic School in Winston-Salem, 
North Carolina.
