            BALDWIN STREET MIDDLE SCHOOL, A SCHOOL TO WATCH

  (Mr. HUIZENGA of Michigan asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HUIZENGA of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity 
today to do a little bragging about Baldwin Street Middle School, which 
came to visit me today from Hudsonville, Michigan. They came to brag 
about their excellence and success as being designated a School to 
Watch.
  That's a national program that goes in and identifies middle schools 
around the country that are very focused on innovation and success but 
also on improvement. Every single day, they are going into that 
building as administrators and as teachers to improve, not only the 
students, but themselves. And I think that is what we need more of here 
in education in the United States. They were also very proud to know 
that I had a staff member, Nate Bult, who is an alumni of that middle 
school. They were very, very proud to see him and the success that he 
has been able to have.
  So, again, I just want to congratulate Baldwin Street Middle School 
in Hudsonville, Michigan, for their dedication to the students of the 
Second District and for their willingness to put the students and 
innovation above any of themselves as they serve our community.
