No Child Left Inside Act
Posted by: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (09-19-2008, 03:29 PM)
This week I voted in favor of the No Child Left Inside Act. This legislation addresses the increasing need for environmental education so that students may learn how to lead healthy life styles. Children are our future, and it is important for them to understand the importance, and be prepared for the challenges, of environmental issues we face today.

It has been 7 years since the unimaginable happened: September 11th, 2001. It is difficult to believe that the months and years have passed so quickly.

I was proud to speak to this issue on the House floor this week and I hope that we might all take a moment to remember this tragic events and the fallen.
