 1-1           WHEREAS, In January 2001, Charlene Lowe, a third-grade
 1-2     teacher at Livingston Elementary School, was honored with the
 1-3     Regular Educator of the Year award from the Texas Council of

 1-5     indicative of her willingness to go above and beyond the call of
 1-6     duty in behalf of her students; and

1-14     achieves high levels of success for all her pupils; and
1-15           WHEREAS, This esteemed educator also received recognition on
1-16     March 25, 2001, when Congressman Jim Turner flew an American flag
1-17     over the United States Capitol as a tribute to her service to her
1-18     students and her community; and
1-19           WHEREAS, Ms. Lowe is widely admired by colleagues, parents,
1-20     and students, and it is a privilege to commend her at this time;
1-21     now, therefore, be it
1-22           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
1-23     Legislature hereby congratulate Charlene Lowe on her receipt of the
