I congratulate Nova Southeastern University for striving to make valuable contributions to the communities that it serves. It has made exciting educational partnerships with three south Florida public schools: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. With the help of influential business and educational leaders, South Florida has strengthened its pledge to community service and renewed its commitment to excellence in education. On September 20 and 21, Nova will build an awareness and support system for local and educational improvement efforts through an ``Educational Express'' Back to School tour. I congratulate the public/private partnerships and the following participating schools in my congressional district: Dr. Michael Krop High School; Coral Way Bilingual Elementary; and Miami Edison Middle School. Because of these partnerships, students in these schools will gain more self-esteem, commit to high academic standards, improve their mastery of reading, writing, math and science, and contribute to their communities. I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating Nova Southeastern University and all of its partners who are working to prepare our Nation's future leaders.
