  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Maria Day who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award. Maria Day is a 7th grader at Drake Middle School and 
received this award because her determination and hard work have 
allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Maria Day is exemplary of the type of 
achievement that can be attained with hard work and perseverance. It is 
essential students at all levels strive to make the most of their 
education and develop a work ethic which will guide them for the rest 
of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Maria Day for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all 
her future accomplishments.
