“Good teachers get apples, but great teachers get to work at Bryceville Elementary School. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bryceville Elementary School in Nassau County, Florida, for earning the highest honor an American school can achieve, the National Blue Ribbon Award. Out of more than 100,000 schools nationwide, the Department of Education honored only 356 with the National Blue Ribbon Award this year. The National Blue Ribbon Award is given to schools with not only the highest test scores, but also those that have closed the achievement gap, ensuring that every single student can succeed. Bryceville Elementary School is a small school with big accomplishments. Their teachers and leadership work incredibly hard to deliver the best possible experience for their students, and now the whole Nation knows just how great Bryceville is. I ask my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, to join me today in recognizing Bryceville Elementary School for their stunning example of northeast Florida academic excellence. May they keep up the good work, and let's keep the blue ribbons coming. ____________________”
