WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|
|
welcome students from the Sacred Heart Catholic School in Uvalde |
|
|
who, along with their parents, teachers, and administrators, have |
|
|
come to the State Capitol on February 15, 2011, to see their state |

|
|
WHEREAS, Sacred Heart Catholic School, a small, rural, |
|
|
private institution located within the Sacred Heart Parish of |
|
|
Uvalde and the archdiocese of San Antonio, was founded in 1913 by |
|
|
the Teresian sisters; many area residents attended the school, and |
|
|
they, in turn, have sent their own children to the school to benefit |
|
|
from the same academic education, faith formation, and leadership |
|
|
skills training they received; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, Sacred Heart Catholic School offers a varied |
|
|
curriculum and a variety of extracurricular activities to its 100 |
|
|
students; dedicated to educating the whole person, faculty members |
|
|
encourage these young Texans to step up to the challenge of being |
|
|
creative, exercise their talents, and be of service to others; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The institution recently celebrated Catholic |
|
|
Schools Week; in observance of the occasion, students collected |
|
|
house slippers for nursing home patients, had a talent show, |
|
|
decorated the school for an open house, and invited sponsors and |
|
|
families for a spaghetti luncheon; they also had a Reading Rodeo and |
|
|
a Breakfast Buddy Day; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Committed to providing a high-quality, |
|
|
faith-centered education, Sacred Heart Catholic School is helping |
|
|
its students succeed academically and realize their full potential, |
|
|
and in so doing, it is building a solid foundation for the future |
|
|
achievement of many young Texans; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 15, 2011, as Sacred Heart |
|
|
Catholic School Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those in |
|
|

|
|
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 |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
