WHEREAS, St. Alcuin Montessori School in Dallas is |
|
celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding in 2014; and |
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1964 by Episcopal priest Albert |
|
Taliaferro, St. Alcuin Montessori originally operated as |
|
Montessori School of Dallas, offering classes out of a home in |
|
Highland Park for nearly 70 preschool-age children; now located on |
|
a picturesque 12-acre campus, the institution has expanded to |
|
include toddler, primary, and elementary programs, as well as an |
|
International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for the sixth, |
|
seventh, and eighth grades; and |
|
WHEREAS, St. Alcuin Montessori seeks to develop innovative |
|
thinkers and passionate learners; faculty members, many of whom are |
|
trained abroad at the Association Montessori Internationale, |
|
engage their charges by challenging and nurturing them as they |
|
develop self-confidence, competency, imagination, and the desire |
|
to lead lives of positive influence; and |
|
WHEREAS, For half a century, the teachers and staff of St. |
|
Alcuin Montessori School have committed themselves to meeting the |
|
educational needs of their students, and the school has played a |
|
vital role in helping many young Texans build a bright and |
|
prosperous future; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding |
|
of St. Alcuin Montessori School and extend to all those associated |
|
with the institution 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 |
|
House of Representatives. |
