            GREENWOOD ELEMENTARY NAMED A BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Greenwood Elementary 
School in Plymouth, Minnesota, for being designated as a 2010 National 
Blue Ribbon School. Greenwood earned this great distinction under the 
direction of now retired principal Ginny Clark, and is now being led by 
Brad Gustafson.

  The Blue Ribbon Schools Program acknowledges public and private 
elementary, middle and high schools whose students have excelled or 
have made great progress academically. This program is highly effective 
in promoting and identifying strong leadership and teaching practices.
  Though, it is truly the dedicated students, teachers, faculty, and 
parents who make Greenwood the great learning community that it is, and 
I am proud to represent such wonderful people here in Congress. We must 
continue to support such programs like this and recognize our great 
schools.
  Congratulations, Greenwood Elementary. You truly are a Blue Ribbon 
School.
