I rise today to recognize an outstanding group of students from Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. The team from Rock L. Butler Middle School recently placed fifth in the Nation in this year's Capitol Hill Challenge, a remarkable achievement. The 16-week financial education competition brings together thousands of student teams from across the country, each tasked with investing a hypothetical $100,000 in the stock market. The goal: to learn the fundamentals of financial literacy, teamwork, and long-term investing. Competing against students from every congressional district, the Rock L. Butler team stood out not only for their strong returns but for their discipline, collaboration, and commitment to learning. Their performance reflects the dedication of their teachers and the support of the Wellsboro community. I had the pleasure of meeting these students during their visit to Washington, and I can confidently say the future is in good hands. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Rock L. Butler Middle School team on this incredible accomplishment.
