                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARY FALLIN

                              of oklahoma

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 6, 2009

  Ms. FALLIN. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate and commend 
the Keystone Adventure School and Farm in Edmond, Oklahoma, which is in 
my congressional district. Through a dedicated school-wide effort the 
Keystone Adventure School and Farm has been awarded the President's 
Environmental Youth Award.
  These hardworking and committed students have created an 
environmentally sustainable project called the Kid's Cafe. This Cafe is 
run entirely by the students and involves growing their own fruits and 
vegetables, maintaining bees to pollinate plants and create honey, and 
numerous other environmentally friendly enterprises. Much of the money 
brought in from these endeavors is used to help less fortunate children 
in Thailand create their own green gardens to supplement their diet.
  This student run Cafe enhances their educational experience at the 
Keystone Adventure School and Farm by exposing them to some of life's 
most important lessons and offering them a chance to help their 
community and the world.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my distinguished colleagues join me in 
recognizing the achievements of Keystone Adventure School and Farm. I 
believe that they have set an outstanding example for all of Oklahoma 
and the nation to follow.
