Friday, June 18, 2004 Chris Van Hollen Commends Beverly Farms Elementary School Washington, D.C. -  Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to recognize my constituents at Beverly Farms Elementary School in Potomac, Maryland. For two years, teachers and students at Beverly Farms have been participating in the Birthday Box Program which allows children to donate duplicate toys and gifts to homeless shelters and other community schools and organizations in Montgomery County. I am proud to note that another school in my congressional district, DuFief Elementary School in Gaithersburg, initiated the concept of the Birthday Box. Students, parents, and teachers at Beverly Farms also participate in numerous service projects which include walks for the homeless and volunteering at the Stepping Stones Shelter. Mr. Speaker, Beverly Farms Elementary School is putting smiles on children's faces and lifting spirits throughout our community. It is my honor to submit for the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD an article published in The Gazette by Amy Reardon on the inspirational work done by the students at Beverly Farms and the great goodwill they are achieving.
