        CONGRATULATING ST. AGNES SCHOOL IN FORT WRIGHT, KENTUCKY

  (Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
students, faculty, and staff at St. Agnes School in Fort Wright, 
Kentucky. St. Agnes was recently named a 2009 Blue Ribbon School. The 
Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors schools that are either academically 
superior or that demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement to 
high levels. These schools serve as models for others throughout the 
Nation.
  I recently had the opportunity to meet the students and faculty at 
St. Agnes and speak with them about their efforts to improve their 
school. Students and staff are unable to be here today in Washington 
with us because they're back in Kentucky working hard in the classroom 
to uphold their high standards. However, the students in Ms. Patti 
Conway's first-grade class sent a distinguished visitor to represent 
them in Washington, D.C.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in welcoming Teddy to the 
House of Representatives and extend our congratulations to all of the 
students of the St. Agnes community for their outstanding achievement.
