SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 653
|
|
WHEREAS, Dana Ables is retiring from the Millsap Independent |
|

|
nearly a half-century of outstanding service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dana Ables began teaching first grade at Millsap |
|
Elementary School in 1968; over the course of her career, she has |
|
earned the admiration of students, parents, and fellow educators |
|
alike for her positive attitude and for the nurturing environment |
|
she creates in the classroom; in addition to ensuring that each |
|
of her pupils has a strong academic foundation on which to build, |
|
she has imparted valuable life lessons about hard work and |
|
discipline and also about kindness, compassion, and courtesy to |
|
others; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This energetic and creative educator serves as a |
|
mentor to many of her fellow teachers while continuing to stay current |
|
with the latest strategies and best practices in her field; moreover, |
|
she has had the pleasure of teaching multiple generations in a number |
|
of area families; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Teaching calls for character, commitment, and |
|
passion, and Dana Ables has demonstrated those qualities in abundance |
|
throughout her exemplary 47-year tenure; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate Dana Ables on her retirement |
|
from the Millsap Independent School District and extend to her |
|
