R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Young people are the Lone Star State's most precious 
resource, and the dedicated professionals entrusted with their care 
are indeed deserving of profound gratitude; and
	WHEREAS, Esther Franz Rodriguez of the Rio Grande Valley is 
one such individual, and her commitment to the well-being of our 
state's young residents is exemplified in the day care she founded, 
Sunshine Academy; and
	WHEREAS, Enrolling children of all ages, the development 
center offers a cozy, comforting environment, and the academy's 
carefully crafted curriculum helps to ensure that the individual 
needs of each pupil are met; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Rodriguez has drawn on her experience with the 
city, state, and federal government to provide quality child care 
to more than 100 families throughout McAllen, Pharr, San Juan, 
Edinburg, and Mission; in addition, her school has employed more 
than 40 area residents; and
	WHEREAS, Because the effects of their interactions with the 
children in their care extend far into the future, teachers and 
child care workers are among our most influential citizens, and 
their difficult but rewarding work benefits the entire community; 
and
	WHEREAS, The contributions of Esther Rodriguez are an 
inspiration to all who are privileged to know her, and her efforts 
have made a positive difference in the lives of countless Texans; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Esther Franz 
Rodriguez for her contributions to the citizens of the Rio Grande 
Valley and extend to her best wishes for continued success; and, be 
it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Ms. Rodriguez as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
