By:  Baxter                                                       H.R. No. 1427



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The fifth-grade students of Cedar Creek Elementary 
School are indeed fortunate to have four dedicated teachers to 
encourage and inspire them in their studies; and
	WHEREAS, Debra Lee Bridges, who has taught at Cedar Creek for 
11 years, makes the classroom environment challenging yet fun for 
her students, who no doubt appreciate both her patience and sense of 
humor; Ms. Bridges truly enjoys her young charges, whether she is 
helping them with class work or making snowflakes to hang from the 
ceiling in winter; and
	WHEREAS, Mark A. Webber has taught for 20 years, although 
2005 marks his first year at Cedar Creek; his teaching style draws 
from his intellectual approach to life and promotes a classroom 
atmosphere in which students are encouraged to assert their ideas 
and opinions; Mr. Webber has been described by one of his students 
as "funny, with a heart as big as Texas"; and
	WHEREAS, Laura Kristine Richard dreamed as a child of 
becoming an air force pilot, but today she flies high as a teacher, 
following in the footsteps of several of her relatives and loving 
the path she chose; a second-year teacher, Ms. Richard is highly 
effective at structuring her classroom while being creative and 
playful with her students; and
	WHEREAS, Denise Marie Reyna Krepps has taught for a decade at 
Cedar Creek and has been named the 2004-2005 Teacher of the Year; 
she is highly regarded by her students for the sense of humor, 
kindness, and devotion she shows them as she prepares them to meet 
the challenges that lie ahead in the sixth grade; and
	WHEREAS, These talented educators have given their students a 
strong foundation on which to build as they begin their education at 
the middle-school level, and they may take great pride in the 
positive difference they have made in the lives of their students; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Debra Lee Bridges, Mark A. Webber, Laura 
Kristine Richard, and Denise Marie Reyna Krepps for their 
exceptional commitment to their profession and their students and 
commend them for a job well done; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for each teacher as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
