  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
students Angel Martinez, Laisha Campos and Veronica Moncada for earning 
the Rookie of the Year Award for their creative and unique mobile 
application (app) as part of the 2019 Congressional App Challenge.
  As first-time participants in the challenge, this team from the 
Northglenn STEM Launch School built an app titled ``Immigration Help'' 
to assist members of the community with immigration resources allowing 
the community to be a welcoming environment for new constituents.
  The students of STEM Launch School spent countless hours and used 
numerous tools to learn about coding, further advancing their STEM 
education. Each team built their app in less than three months which 
shows their perseverance and dedication to this challenge and 
exemplifies the character and determination the faculty instills in the 
students at the school.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to these students for their hard 
work on this project. I am certain these students will exhibit the same 
dedication and character in their future accomplishments.
