WHEREAS, A quality education is the foundation of future |
|
|
success, and W. H. Bradfield Elementary School provides students of |
|
|
the Garland Independent School District with a well-rounded |
|
|
academic curriculum and opportunities to develop their individual |
|
|
skills and talents; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 1962, Bradfield was named after the |
|
|
former city mayor who became its first principal; the school today |
|
|
has an enrollment of approximately 475 students, who are guided by |
|
|
the motto "It's not what I've done, it's who I am: I am Bradfield's |
|
|
best"; each week, a student from every class is chosen as one of |
|
|
Bradfield's Best as a reward for outstanding behavior combined with |
|
|
scholarly achievement; the Caught Being Good program also |
|
|
recognizes children for their efforts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Principal Mary Johnston leads a dedicated faculty |
|
|
and staff, whose endeavors are inspired by the Bradfield mission |
|
|
statement: "Build a positive learning environment, raise |
|
|
expectations for all, appreciate cultural diversity, develop |
|
|
responsibility among students, find the best in each child, |
|
|
instruct at the highest level possible, engage parents and |
|
|
community as partners, learn through problem-solving, demonstrate |
|
|
continuing improvement."; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For the 2008-2009 school year, Bradfield's theme is |
|
|
"Speeding to Success," emphasizing the diligence of students as |
|
|
they strive to master new skills and acquire the knowledge they need |
|
|
to progress to the next level of achievement; the faculty, staff, |
|
|
and administrators of Bradfield Elementary can indeed take pride in |
|
|
this fine institution and its role in preparing children to become |
|
|
happy and productive citizens of the Lone Star State; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize Bradfield Elementary School in |
|
|
Garland for its contributions to the community and extend to its |
|
|
students, teachers, and staff sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
