SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 363
|
|
WHEREAS, For more than three decades, The Covenant School |
|
in Dallas has provided students with a classical Christian |
|
education rooted in the pursuit of knowledge in the areas of |
|
grammar, logic, and rhetoric, with inspiration from classic |
|
literature; and |
|
WHEREAS, During the past school year, the fifth grade class |
|
at Covenant has demonstrated great diligence in studying the |
|
history of the great State of Texas; to supplement their |
|
instruction, the students attended a living history day that taught |
|
them about the real lives of early Texas settlers, and they also |
|
learned about the Alamo and read a historical novel about a German |
|
family who immigrated to the Texas Hill Country; and |
|
WHEREAS, To immerse themselves further in the story of |
|
Texas, the fifth grade class performed a play for younger students |
|
in Covenant's Grammar School about the meaning and history of the |
|
six national flags that have flown over Texas during its different |
|
eras of governance; the class's yearlong project culminated in a |
|
multi-day trip to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and |
|
the Texas State Capitol and a visit to the Alamo in San Antonio; and |
|
WHEREAS, Throughout this endeavor, the students received |
|
excellent instruction and leadership from teachers Kelly Meyer, |
|
Carrie Anthony, Keely Dooley, Ashley Wilson, Jody Gibson, and |
|
Brandi Sosnowski and administrators Dr. Robert Littlejohn and |
|
Laura Mountjoy; their teachers were responsible not only for |
|
implementing the lesson plan but also for guiding students in |
|
completing service-oriented tasks at Covenant, which included |
|
raising and lowering the American and Texas flags according to |
|
proper protocols; and |
|
WHEREAS, Students in the fifth grade class at The Covenant |
|
School have demonstrated a commendable interest in the people and |
|
events that have shaped the Lone Star State, and it is a pleasure to |
|
recognize these outstanding young Texans; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
Legislature, hereby honor the fifth grade students from The Covenant |
|
School for their dedication to learning about Texas history and |
|
extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success as engaged |
|
citizens and lifelong learners; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
prepared for the class as an expression of high regard from the |
|
Texas Senate. |
