|
|
Berumen, the Stingers took top honors in the "Fine Arts--Feary |

|
|
the team's six outstanding members are students in grades 3-5; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Stingers worked diligently to prepare for this |
|
|
exciting competition, and their first-place finish is a source of |
|
|
great pride to their teachers and classmates; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Stingers team of Horizon |
|
|
