                     DELAWARE VALLEY FRIENDS SCHOOL

  (Mr. COSTELLO of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COSTELLO of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the Delaware Valley Friends School, its staff, students, 
and their parents on a very prestigious honor.
  On January 19, the Paoli-based school will be presented with the 
Apple Distinguished School Award by the technology company Apple. This 
award is presented to outstanding schools and programs worldwide for 
innovation, leadership, and educational excellence based on five best 
practices: visionary leadership, innovative learning in technology, 
ongoing professional learning, compelling evidence of success, and a 
flexible learning environment.
  Schools honored to receive this award must achieve educational 
excellence in all categories. In fact, Delaware Valley Friends School 
is one of only two Chester County schools to be presented with this 
prestigious award.
  I regret I cannot attend this ceremony, but I wish the school the 
very best here on the floor of the United States House of 
Representatives on this historic achievement.
  Best wishes to the Delaware Valley Friends School as they continue to 
provide educational excellence to its students.
