               TRIBUTE TO THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS OF CJI

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, today I wish to honor the 
elementary students of Chester-Joplin-Inverness, CJI. These students 
took part in Chester's annual Harvest 4 Hunger Campaign. All together, 
they gathered 2136.5 pounds of nonperishable food.
  CJI is a combination of three towns up on what we call the Highline 
in Montana. The towns are Chester, Joplin, and Inverness. These three 
town have come together to make one great school to serve the students 
of the area.
  There are 108 elementary students at CJI, and they did such a 
wonderful thing for families in the area. Harvest 4 Hunger is a 
campaign operated by CHS to gather nonperishable food items and money 
donations to give to local charities to feed families in need.
  Now I hear the students had a little motivation for bringing food in. 
The winning classes at the end of each week were rewarded with a pizza 
party.

There is no better motivation than a pizza party. I read a lot quotes 
from the kids, and it sounds like they had a great time collecting the 
food, and they were happy to get the chance to help people in need. One 
student told their teacher Miss Manion, That is what Hawks do.
  It makes me so proud to see young Montanans helping out their 
communities. These students did such a wonderful thing. Great job, and 
God bless.
