   TRIBUTE TO THE EAGLE HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SECOND GRADE CLASS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 15, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to include in the Record 
some very special words of advice for our nation's 45th President, 
Donald Trump. These are words of welcome and advice from the students 
of Eagle Heights Elementary School's second grade class in Clinton, 
Iowa.
  As their teacher Wendy Jennings notes, ``My second grade class has 
been following the election and your road to becoming our new 
president. They were interested in the important things: the name of 
your son, the color of your ties, if you would use the bowling alley in 
the White House, why other grown-ups made mean faces when you were 
speaking and the fact you always smile. It has been fun to watch all of 
this through their eyes.''
  These following letters I include in the Record were hand written by 
each group of the seven and eight year olds in the class. I regret that 
I cannot include the wonderful artwork each student drew at the top of 
their notes. They drew American Flags, airplanes, hearts, houses, 
bowling alleys, and some pretty good drawings of our new president.
  Please enjoy the wisdom and advice of these students, in their own 
words.

                        Dear Mr. President Trump

       Dear Mr. President: I watched you become President. You 
     have a beautiful wife. My teacher loved her blue dress. What 
     does it look like in the White House? Is it beautiful? If I 
     was President I would fix cancer.
                                               Love, Lillian Asay.

       Dear Mr. President: My class watched your speech last week. 
     When I watched your speech one man did not like what you 
     said. I still love you. Oh!' Your family is so sweet.
                                             Love, Venelea Duncan.

       Dear Mr. President: I am glad you are President. I like 
     you. I know you are nice because you are always smiling. I 
     like you.
                                              Love, Rayhne Bowman.

       Dear Mr. President: I know that you will be the best 
     President ever. You are very very smart because you know a 
     lot of math problems. You are brave to tell the law.
                                              Love, Anthony Bovis.

       Dear Mr. President: My class would like it if you came to 
     Eagle Heights. The kids in my class are smart. My teacher 
     loved the dress your wife was wearing. I like that you always 
     smile. Is Air Force One loud?
                                              Love, Payton Eggers.

       Dear President Trump: What is it like being President? You 
     should come to our class. We have very good kids. You are 
     very nice. If I was President I would say no smoking.
                                                Love, Noah Sexton.

       Dear Mr. President: I know you will make a great President. 
     Do you like your job? If I was President I would help the 
     United States. I hope you make friends.
                                           Love, James Bloomquist.

       Dear Mr. President: My class wants you to come to Eagle 
     Heights. I liked your speech. Do you like being President so 
     far? If I was President I would help sick people.
                                                   Jakob Geestman.

       Dear President Trump: How hard is it to be President? Good 
     job on being President. If I were President I would make more 
     laws because I would make the world a better place.
                                              Love, Cooper Belitz.

       Dear President Trump: I really like how you smile in your 
     pictures. How big is your family? I watched your inauguration 
     with my class.
                                               Love, Justis Welch.

       Dear President Trump: We watched your inauguration together 
     in our class. I'm happy that you were running for President. 
     Good job for running for President. I can tell that you are 
     nice because you always smile.
                                            Love, Darren Schemers.

       Dear President Trump: I watched your speech last week. I 
     like your speeches. How fast is Air Force One? If I were 
     President I would say no drugs because it is bad for you.
                                                 Love, Jacob Nash.

       Dear Mr. President: How late did the inauguration go? I 
     know you're going to be a great President. If I were 
     President I would make school break longer. I watched you on 
     TV and I thought you did good.
                                             Love, Andrea Stewart.

       Dear President Trump: We watched the inauguration in my 
     class. You write good signatures! How do you start to be 
     President? If I were President the law would be no saying bad 
     words in school.
                                            Love, Daniel Schemers.

       Dear President Trump: I watched your inauguration. I think 
     you are going to be an excellent President. How do you think 
     you are going to do? If I were President I would get rid of 
     all the guns except for cops.
                                                Love, Jharia Knox.

       Dear Mr. President: I watched your inauguration last week. 
     You are a really good President. Do you always smile? I know 
     you are smart because you became President.
                                                Love, Jayda Skiff.

       Dear Mr. President: Great job for becoming President! I 
     hope you like being President! Do you like being in the White 
     House? Presidents are good, so be good!
                                             Love, Emersen Jensen.

       Dear Mr. President: On Friday my class and I watched your 
     inauguration. What was it like in New York? I like your tie. 
     If I were President, I would probably make up a new fun world 
     like in the book Frindle.
                                          Love, Stephanie Rollins.

       Dear Mr. President: I like your job. Is your job hard? If I 
     were President I would

     change the law of no smoking. Your family looks like they are 
     nice.
                                             Love, Jordan Hellweg.

       Dear Mr. President: We watched your inauguration speech. Do 
     you like Hillary Clinton? You are the best President in the 
     world because you will make good laws.
                                          Love, Griffen Mangelsen.

       Dear Mr. President: You always look really good on TV. You 
     should come visit our school because Hillary Clinton came and 
     you should too.
                                             Love, Emma Rodriguez.

       Dear Mr. President: Congratulations on being our new 
     President. Do you like your new home at the White House?
                                                    Donovan Matos.
