Hoyer Hosts Congressional Art Competition Recognition Event Honoring Fifth District Students
I congratulate all the extremely talented students who participated in this year's Fifth District Congressional Arts Competition.
Congressman Hoyer is strongly committed to ensuring Maryland schools continue to be among the best in the nation and students have the education and skills they need to succeed.
He is also a strong supporter of Full-Service Community Schools, modeled after the highly successful Judy Centers throughout Maryland, which coordinates educational and social service programs through collaborative partnerships with school districts and community-based organizations. By placing services under one roof, Congressman Hoyer believes schools can more effectively and efficiently provide families with access to services they might not easily have access to otherwise.
Congressman Hoyer also helped enact the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which saved taxpayers money, made critical investments in higher education by significantly increasing funding for Pell Grants, made loan repayment more affordable by expanding the Income Based Repayment program, and provided $2 billion to strengthen our community colleges. Additionally, he supports investing in education for disadvantaged students and students with disabilities, providing additional funds for teacher professional development and protecting Pell Grant funding for needy students pursuing higher education.
I congratulate all the extremely talented students who participated in this year's Fifth District Congressional Arts Competition.
I am delighted to launch the fourth annual App Challenge, an exciting opportunity for students in the Fifth District to showcase their programming capabilities.
