H.R. No. 2218



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The fifth-grade students of Hidalgo Elementary 
School have nearly completed the 2004-2005 school year, and while 
reflecting on all they have learned this year, they will no doubt 
remember with pleasure the field trip they took to visit the State 
Capitol in Austin; and
	WHEREAS, With the 79th Texas Legislative Session drawing to a 
close, the Capitol Complex has been a center of great activity, 
which provided these young people with an excellent opportunity to 
witness their state government in action; and
	WHEREAS, Accompanied by their principal, Olivia Hernandez, 
their teachers Fabian Perez, Joel Ibanez, and Domingo Gano, and 
other members of the school community, the students had a chance to 
see the State Capitol and learn more about the fascinating history 
of this monument to freedom and democracy; and
	WHEREAS, The magnificent Capitol is an ideal setting for 
young and old alike to discover the rich heritage of the Lone Star 
State and to gain insight into the work of state lawmakers, and it 
is hoped that the students' visit to the seat of Texas government 
increased their interest in and awareness of how state laws are 
passed; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the students of Hidalgo Elementary 
School for their interest in learning more about Texas state 
government; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the fifth-grade class at Hidalgo Elementary School as 
an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                          Flores
