                        Thursday, August 1, 2013

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 
newly expanded Montessori Academy in Pembroke Pines, FL.
  As the 2013-2014 academic term commences, the Montessori Academy will 
educate students from infancy through middle school, with the goal of 
preparing them to be lifelong learners and responsible citizens of the 
world community.
  A quality education equips our youth with the skills they need to 
succeed in life, including critical thinking skills for inside and 
outside the classroom. Students attending the Montessori Academy will 
be able to take advantage of the new elementary and middle school 
classrooms, labs, arts and media centers, computer labs, and gymnasium.
  As a parent of three students in Broward County schools, I am 
grateful for every fantastic teacher, school leader, and professional 
working to make a difference in the lives of our children. Education is 
not only the right of every child; it is the cornerstone of America's 
future.
  I wish the Montessori Academy the best as faculty, staff, students, 
and parents prepare for a successful school year. Go Eagles!
