Here They Go Again

Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the students of South Glens Falls. Here they go again, as they celebrate another year of extraordinary commitment to their community.

Earlier this month, they hosted their 47th annual South High Marathon Dance, a student-led event to raise money for worthy causes, from dedicated community organizations to local families in need.

This year they raised nearly $750,000, adding to an astonishing total of more than $11 million raised since 1978.

I was honored to join them at this year's event where I saw firsthand the enthusiasm and compassion that keep this tradition alive.

United by music, dance, and a spirit of giving, these leaders of today and tomorrow demonstrate the power that lies in a commitment to community and a desire to do good--tremendous good.

To the students of South Glens Falls, I extend my congratulations on another incredible year of giving and my heartfelt thanks for filling me with inspiration and hope for our collective future.

Go Bulldogs. They are a loving and caring inspiration and strength for our future.
