WHEREAS, The Whittier Elementary School Family Literacy
Program, created in January 2002, has achieved considerable success
in its short history and shows great promise for the future; and
WHEREAS, Under the direction of the Neuhaus Education Center
and funded by The Houston Annenberg Challenge and the Cullen
Foundation, the program is designed to assist struggling readers,
particularly in first and second grades, through a special
curriculum and by involving their parents in the learning process;
and
WHEREAS, Coordinator Dianne Wells, assisted by two of the
school's teachers, is working with students and their parents to
build the children's reading skills in a family-friendly
environment; and
WHEREAS, The ability to read is essential to everyday living
and those without it face enormous barriers to achieving success;
the Whittier Elementary School Family Literacy Program is designed
to help students to master this vital skill, and all those
associated with the initiative are indeed worthy of special
legislative recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the participants in the Whittier
Elementary School Family Literacy Program and extend to them
sincere best wishes for continued success in their endeavors; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for these individuals as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
