I rise today to share the story of the Ridley School district, which is leading the charge in our community to raise awareness of the importance of the upcoming census. Under the leadership of kelly, the director of people service, the Ridley School district has launched a district wide effort to ensure a complete and fair count in the 2020 cren discuss. Ms. Scanlon 10 years ago, pennsylvania undercounted over 25,000 children resulting in a loss of nearly 44 million in funding for critical programs like health care, snap, school lunches, affordable housing, teacher training, and classroom technology. Ms. Spanberger these programs were all impacted by the undercount. Since children are among those most likely to be undercounted, its particularly important for schools like ridley to promote a complete census count. Community leaders like kelly are working hard alongside local churches, preschools, shelters, housing authorities, public libraries, and using social media to spread the word that we all count. The census is the basis for how the federal government distributes billions of tax dollars. So we need a complete count. Our children and our communities cant afford another undercount this year. We all need to spread the word that the census is easy, safe, and important. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition .

I have spoken in this chamber before about my fathers american Success Story as an italian immigrant. Today i rise to tell the story of another italian immigrant Success Story, my constituents mother, rosa. Rosa died unexpectedly this past christmas, two cheeks sigh shy of her 95th birthday. In 1955 she left italy with her husband and children leaving behind her friends and family in pursuit of the american dream. Think of the tears that were shed as family and a way of life were left behind and as they faced the unknown. They arrived in america with only 200 in their pocket. They worked hard, experienced tremendous hardships, and personal affronts because they didnt speak english. But they refused to believe they were second class citizens. They persevered and their children all achieved tremendous success and their son, anthony, my constituent, was recently installed as the new york state president of the sons and daughters of italy. Anthony asked me to speak up on behalf of his mother and all immigrants who make the leap of faith to leave everything behind to come to america and try and live the american dream. Hopefully roses story will inspire others to persevere through the hardships, discrimination, and the outright disrespect. Today we honor rose, god bless her and god bless the United States of america. I yield back.
