1-1 SENATE RESOLUTION
1-2 WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is especially proud
1-3 to congratulate the students and faculty of Kleberg Elementary School
1-4 in Kingsville, Texas, on their recent achievement; and
1-5 WHEREAS, For its superb efforts to help prevent drug abuse,

1-7 school placed in the top 50 nationally and fifth among Texas schools
1-8 in the eighth Annual American "Set A Good Example" Contest; and
1-9 WHEREAS, The more than 500 projects entered in the contest by
1-10 schools across the country were designed and carried out by
1-11 students demonstrating the theme "Set A Good Example--Be Honest,
1-12 Trustworthy and Competent"; and
1-13 WHEREAS, The Concerned Businessmen's Association of America
1-14 created the contest as part of a national grassroots campaign to
1-15 restore strong moral and social values; the contest encourages
1-16 youths to use peer pressure in a positive fashion based on
1-17 traditional values; and

1-19 schools are required to develop projects to demonstrate common sense
1-20 standards of right and wrong as contained in The Way To Happiness,
1-21 which stresses 21 basic values; and
1-22 WHEREAS, Because youths prefer to listen to friends and peers
1-23 instead of authority, the positive influence exerted by fellow
2-1 students is the most effective instrument for change; now,
2-2 therefore, be it
2-3 RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
2-4 74th Legislature, hereby commend the students of Kleberg Elementary
