  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Maleah Velarde who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Maleah Velarde is an 8th grader at Everitt 
Middle School and received this award because her determination and 
hard work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Maleah Velarde 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 Maleah Velarde for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character to all 
her future accomplishments.
