SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 415

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
join the City of Houston and the students and staff at Nimitz 
High School in recognizing Students Against Violence Day on 
March 28, 2003; and
	WHEREAS, The reigning Ms. America, Susan Jeske, will 
present her Students Against Violence assembly program to the 
school and discuss causes of violence and ways to prevent it; 
her message emphasizes that students must take personal 
responsibility to keep themselves and their school violence 
free; and
	WHEREAS, Violence is a detriment to the welfare of our 
schools and communities; its tragic consequences entail enormous 
costs in loss of lives, disabilities, and social problems; and
	WHEREAS, As the level of violence in the general society 
has risen sharply, so has violence among our youth; young people 
are more likely than adults to be victims of violence; and
	WHEREAS, Violence is preventable; a safe and healthy 
school and community can be achieved through the commitment on 
many levels by parents, communities, educators, and students; 
and
	WHEREAS, The students, faculty, and administration of 
Nimitz High School deserve recognition for hosting a Students 
Against Violence Day program, which will help to ensure that 
every student can attend school free of fear and prepared for 
learning; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby recognize all associated with Nimitz 
High School for participating in Students Against Violence Day 
and extend best wishes to them for a successful and productive 
program; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared 
for Nimitz High School as an expression of esteem from the 
Texas Senate.
                                                                         Lindsay
