R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, For nearly four decades Elwanda Stone has played a 
key role in the lives of the students, faculty, and staff at

Holliday schoolchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Born and raised in Holliday, Ms. Stone is a graduate 
of the local high school who first joined the staff of Holliday 
Elementary School as an aide; she was later named to the post of 
school secretary, and she has served with distinction in that 
capacity for the past 37 years, complementing her work at the local 
level with membership in the Association of Texas Professional 
Educators; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Stone is known to many residents of Holliday as a 
friendly and helpful person whom students and parents have come to 
rely on during the elementary school years; a devoted member of the 
community of faith at the First Baptist Church of Holliday as well, 
she also participates in the Holliday Investment Club; and
	WHEREAS, The kindness and professionalism that Elwanda Stone 
has brought to her work has helped to shape an environment conducive 
to learning at Holliday Elementary School and has earned her the 
respect and admiration of many people; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend Elwanda Stone on her many years of 
outstanding service to Holliday Elementary School and extend to her 
warmest best wishes for a delightful retirement; and, be it further

prepared for Ms. Stone as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
