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, Elizabeth Aguilar, for her 
exemplary contributions in the field of education; and
	WHEREAS, Having grown up in a hardworking migrant family, 
Mrs. Aguilar became determined at a young age to better her life 
through education, and she overcame myriad challenges to graduate 
from The University of Texas--Pan American in 1998; since that 
time, Mrs. Aguilar has worked with the Edinburg Consolidated 
Independent School District and currently teaches fourth grade at 
L. B. Johnson Elementary School, where she has touched the lives of 
countless young people during her distinguished tenure; a lifelong 
learner, she inspires her students with her passion for education 
and will soon continue her own studies as she pursues a master's 
degree in education; 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 Elizabeth Aguilar 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. Aguilar as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
