                         TRUANCY COURT PROJECT

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I rise to recognize the 
students who participated in the Truancy Court Project for the 
Pennington County Juvenile Diversion Program.
  The 17 students who successfully participated in the Truancy Court 
Project deserve the special recognition they are receiving today. After 
starting off the school year with a rocky beginning, each individual 
student took it upon themselves to volunteer for this project and to 
excel at it. Each of them has improved attendance, improved their 
relationships with their teachers, and most importantly learned the 
value of education.
  It gives me great pleasure to rise with the citizens of Rapid City 
and Ellsworth in congratulating the Truancy Court Project students for 
their successful participation in the program.
