  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Elias Vigil for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award.
  Elias Vigil is a student at Arvada K-8 School and received this award 
because his determination and hard work have allowed him to overcome 
adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Elias Vigil is exemplary of the type 
of achievement that can be attained with hard work and perseverance. It 
is essential students at all levels strive to make the most of their 
education and develop a work ethic which will guide them for the rest 
of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Elias Vigil for winning the 
Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no doubt 
he will exhibit the same dedication and character in all of his future 
accomplishments.
