COMMENDING MEMORIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR BLUE RIBBON AWARD
______
HON. CHRIS PAPPAS
of new hampshire
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Memorial Elementary School on its designation as a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School. Principal Philip Schappler, teachers, board members, and staff at this school have made a lasting impact on the lives of students and families from the Bedford community.
Each year, the Department of Education recognizes the academic excellence of a select few elementary, middle, and high schools across the nation through the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program. In order to be recognized as a Blue Ribbon School, schools must demonstrate that their institution leads students of all backgrounds to master meaningful and challenging material. The Blue Ribbon designation process is highly selective, with only two schools across the State of New Hampshire receiving a 2021 Blue Ribbon designation.
Receiving its first Blue Ribbon award in 2012, Memorial Elementary School has shown a consistent dedication to each student’s learning and wellbeing that has not gone unrecognized. Being named a National Blue Ribbon School is no small feat, and I am proud to serve and represent a school district with such a strong commitment to academic excellence.
On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, I want to congratulate and thank everyone who has helped make Memorial Elementary School the exemplary institution that it is today.
