 1-3           WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas congratulates the
 1-4     students, faculty, and staff at Harlendale Alternative Center of
 1-5     San Antonio on achieving top 10 national honors in the 18th Annual
 1-6     Children's Set A Good Example School Competition; and
 1-7           WHEREAS, Today's youth cope with many negative influences,
 1-8     including drugs, crime, and illiteracy; our country's future
 1-9     depends on young people's ability to overcome harmful pressures
1-10     and practices; and
1-11           WHEREAS, The Concerned Businessmen's Association of America
1-12     is a not-for-profit educational organization which seeks to
1-13     ameliorate social ills; in 1982, the group launched a pilot
1-14     program based on the idea that "positive counter peer pressure"
1-15     could be an effective method for turning youth against drug abuse,
1-16     gang involvement, and other dangerous influences; and
1-17           WHEREAS, The pilot program's success eventually led to
1-18     the establishment of the Children's Set A Good Example School
1-19     Competition, an event which promotes achievement and responsibility
1-20     in our nation's schools by rewarding young people who set a good
1-21     example for their peers; and
1-22           WHEREAS, Young people in over 10,000 schools from all
 2-1     50 states, a total of more than 12 million students, have
 2-2     entered their student-designed and student-run projects in
 2-3     the contest; and
 2-4           WHEREAS, The State of Texas is especially proud to have its
 2-5     school Harlendale Alternative Center among the winners of this
 2-6     year's Children's Set A Good Example School Competition; the
 2-7     students whose work brought about this distinction have brought
 2-8     great honor to their school, community, and state; now, therefore,
 2-9     be it
2-10           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

2-15     be it further
2-16           RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
