Texas School Public Relations Association (TSPRA) with five awards 
at the association's conference in San Antonio; and
	WHEREAS, TSPRA is dedicated to promoting public schools 
through effective communications, and the awards recognize school 
communicators for outstanding work in print and electronic media; 
and 
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Matthews received two Gold Star Awards and Mrs.

	WHEREAS, Mrs. Gonzalez-Murphy and Mrs. Matthews are 
noteworthy advocates for the Wichita Falls Independent School
