SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1055
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Metz Elementary School on the grand occasion of its |
|
90th anniversary; and |
|
WHEREAS, Metz Elementary School is one of the rare |
|
remaining elementary schools in America that has educated |
|
multiple successive generations of the families in its |
|
neighborhood; teachers at the school often recognize former |
|
students who are now bringing their own children to school; and |
|
WHEREAS, Metz Elementary School has been an important part |
|
of the Mexican American community since its inception; in years |
|
past, an elementary school education was all that was available |
|
to many residents of the neighborhood, and Metz Elementary School |
|
became a significant cultural touchstone for many generations of |
|
citizens in that vibrant community; and |
|
WHEREAS, Metz Elementary School has been recognized by the |
|
History Channel with a grant from the Save Our History program; |
|
the grant will underwrite student projects like oral history |
|
presentations, an original musical theater piece, and a mural |
|
that will visually tell the story of the school; and |
|
WHEREAS, Metz Elementary School has served its community |
|
with distinction for 90 years, and it is truly deserving of |
|
recognition for the important role it has played in the lives of |
|
generations of students; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
80th Legislature, hereby commend the students, faculty, and |
|
staff at Metz Elementary School for their hard work and many |
|
achievements and extend to them best wishes for a memorable |
|
90th anniversary celebration; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the school as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
