R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Students from Seco Mines Elementary School in Eagle 
Pass recently won first place in the junior division of the Texas 
Future Problem Solving Program state championship in the community 
service category of competition, and their visit to the State 
Capitol provides a fitting opportunity to honor this noteworthy 
group of young people; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Future Problem Solving Program offers 
gifted and talented students the opportunity to apply 
problem-solving skills to real-life situations in their school, 
community, or state; under the guidance of a mentor, class members 
work together to identify a specific situation that they then 
analyze in an attempt to better understand the problem and to 
develop possible solutions to it; and
	WHEREAS, Under the able leadership of coach Sylvia Saucedo, 
these dedicated students sought to make a difference in their 
community by identifying risk factors for diabetes and creating 
viable solutions to remedy them; deciding they needed to help 
people exercise to lead healthier lives, the children formulated 
Project H.E.A.L.T.H., Helping Everyone to Achieve Long Term Health, 
a plan to renovate an abandoned park with a walking trail that will 
ultimately provide a fun, safe place for area residents to 
exercise; and
	WHEREAS, The students from Seco Mines Elementary School who 
participated in Project H.E.A.L.T.H. are Alejandra Amaya, Rolando 
Castillon, Samantha Davila, Norell Diego, Diana Estrada, Ricardo 
Flores, Ashley Hernandez, Lizeth Hernandez, Emily Lopez, Monica 
Lopez, Christopher Martinez, Cody Mata, Juan Navarro, Krizelle 
Olivo, Evelyn Palomo, Hector Pineda, Monica Salinas, Stephanie 
Salinas, Pat Saucedo, Erika Soto, and Vanessa Vasquez; and
	WHEREAS, These admirable young people recognized and acted on 
an issue of critical importance to their community; through their 
actions, class members have learned that they can have a positive 
impact on the world around them, and they have earned the respect of 
all who know them for their remarkable achievement; now, therefore, 
be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the students from Seco Mines Elementary 
School who participated in Project H.E.A.L.T.H. and extend to them 
a warm welcome on the occasion of their trip to the State Capitol; 
and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the students and coach Sylvia Saucedo as an expression 
of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
