“Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate eight outstanding students in southeast Forth Worth that attend Morningside Middle School in Fort Worth, Texas. Lexi Stanford, Tomas Altamirano, Alex Delgadillo, Carei Frank, Yontrell George, Jennifer Huynh, Adair Medina, and Paola Rios were all contenders in the Junior National Academic Championship. This is the first time that students from the 33rd Congressional District's Morningside Middle School participated in the qualifying competition, nicknamed the ``Whiz Quiz'' competition and also the GE College Bowl, which has been a tradition in the Fort Worth Independent School District since 1978. This challenge of knowledge requires middle school and high school academic teams to accurately answer brain- stretching questions faster than their opponents. On May 31, these eight students traveled to Washington to compete against other schools across the Nation in the larger Junior National Academic Championship. I would once again like to commend these students on a job well-done and encourage them to continue excelling in their academic pursuits. ____________________”
