                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Tessa Shields, a graduate of Mount Ayr High School in 
Mount Ayr, Iowa. Tessa was recently honored for outstanding academic 
achievement at the Fifteenth Annual Governor's Scholar Recognition on 
April 30, 2017.
  This statewide program is sponsored by the Iowa Governor's Office, 
the Iowa High School Athletic Association, and the Iowa Farm Bureau. 
Each Iowa high school was invited to select a senior with the highest 
academic achievement. Not only are recipients academically gifted, but 
the selected students are also those who have had success in extra-
curricular activities and community involvement.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Tessa in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize her 
for utilizing her talents to reach her goals. I invite my colleagues in 
the United States House of Representatives to join me in congratulating 
her on receiving this esteemed designation, and in wishing her nothing 
but the best.
