I would like to take a moment to praise my district's 2019 Congressional Award winner, Ms. Sage Savoia-Di Gregorio from Maplewood, New Jersey. This award is given to youth who achieve extraordinary results in four different categories: public service, physical fitness, personal development, and geographic exploration. Sage was more than up to the challenge: She joined AmeriCorps and built outdoor trails in Virginia; she renovated museums and education centers in New Jersey; she helped clean and maintain a natural park in Kentucky; and she provided disaster relief to victims of Hurricane Florence in South Carolina--all this, while she maintained a strict workout regime every week. She deserves this award, and I am proud to call her a resident of the 10th Congressional District of New Jersey. ____________________
