  Mr. JENKINS of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
Wyoming County, West Virginia, chapter of Students Against Destructive 
Decisions, also known as SADD.
  The Wyoming County chapter has been named the 2015 SADD National 
Chapter of the Year. Consisting of 300 members from six different 
schools, these Wyoming County students work hard to encourage young 
people to avoid underage drinking, drugs, and other destructive 
activities.
  Wyoming County and the surrounding area, like many parts of our State 
and country, are limited in the number of youth programs and social 
services leading to temptations for many teenagers. SADD helps fill the 
void and is a positive force in helping students make positive life 
choices and avoid destructive decisions.
  These students represent our State's values and demonstrate 
compassion, commitment, and courage through their work. I know they 
will take the skills they have learned in SADD and become the next 
generation of leaders in West Virginia.
  I congratulate these students and teachers and thank them for making 
Wyoming County a better place to live.
