R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A strong, effective system of free public education 
for all youth is essential to our democratic system of government; 
and
	WHEREAS, The United States has made considerable progress in 
the social, technological, and scientific fields due to our system 
of free and universal public education and to our qualified and 
dedicated teachers, who have equipped their students with the 
skills necessary to achieve their full potential; and
	WHEREAS, Given the pivotal role that educators play in the 
lives of young people, the National Education Association and the 
National Parent Teacher Association are recognizing May 2-8, 2004, 
as Teacher Appreciation Week; at this time, it is a pleasure to 
honor an outstanding Texas educator, Lydia Rendon, for her 
exemplary contributions in the field of education; and
	WHEREAS, A native of the Lone Star State, Mrs. Rendon is a 
proud graduate of Pan American College; she recently earned the 
title Teacher of the Year at Brewster Elementary School in Linn, 
where she has touched the lives of countless young people during her 
distinguished tenure that has spanned nearly half a century; and
	WHEREAS, Representative Aaron Peña, in celebration of 
Teacher Appreciation Week, has appropriately recognized this 
remarkable educator for her steadfast commitment to public 
education; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor Lydia Rendon for her 
exemplary efforts in behalf of her students and extend to her 
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mrs. Rendon as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
