  Mrs. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exceptional 
individuals at Baldwin School District, an institution which renders 
significant contributions to the educational development and social 
enrichment of youth.
  The future of this country depends on the hopes and dreams of its 
children, our community, and our Nation, and is enhanced by the

contributions of those who serve as mentors and those who make 
mentoring programs safe and strong.
  The Baldwin School District and its leadership have promoted and 
supported mentoring programs through an innovative partnership which 
brings together dedicated teachers, businesspeople, and community 
volunteers with students. Baldwin's programs have been a bridge of 
understanding which have highlighted the talents and determination of 
its young people and the devotion of the teachers, businesspeople, and 
community volunteers who give their time and commitment to mentoring.
  The mentoring process brings benefits to youth, the caring adults who 
guide them, and by extension to the community, the business world, and 
the region, and Baldwin's innovative mentoring program is outstanding.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with pride and admiration I offer my thanks and 
recognition to the Baldwin School District.
