                CONGRATULATING SALYERSVILLE GRADE SCHOOL

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I rise to congratulate 
Salyersville Grade School of Salyersville, KY. Salyersville Grade 
School is recognized as a 2005 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School.
  The Blue Ribbon Schools Program has been celebrating high achieving 
schools for over 20 years. Established in 1982 by the U.S. Department 
of Education, the program has recognized more than 3,000 schools since 
its inception. This year, six Kentucky schools join this distinguished 
list, and I am proud to say that Salyersville Grade School is one of 
the worthy recipients.
  By demanding excellence from each and every student, Salyersville 
Grade School truly celebrates the blue ribbon standard of excellence 
that the No Child Left Behind Program strives to achieve. Salyersville 
Grade School is an example of what our Kentucky schools can achieve 
when we have enough faith in our students to challenge them to become 
the leaders this country so desperately needs.
  I congratulate Salyersville Grade School on this achievement. The 
administrators, teachers, parents, and students of this school are an 
inspiration to the citizens of Kentucky. look forward to all that 
Salyersville Grade School accomplishes in the future.
