SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 750
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Larkspur Elementary School on the occasion of its 50th |
|
|
anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Larkspur Elementary School is in the North East |
|
|
Independent School District in San Antonio; the school's motto is |
|
|
"Equity and Excellence Every Child Every Day"; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The school offers an array of initiatives to help |
|
|
its students prepare for life in today's complex society; the |
|
|
school's Dual Language Program seeks to empower and develop |
|
|
bilingual and bi-literate students; the program's goal is that |
|
|
half of the students in its classes be native English speakers |
|
|

|
|
participating students work together to gain an appreciation of |
|
|
each other's cultures while learning a second language; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Larkspur Elementary School sponsors two special |
|
|
events each year to celebrate its students' progress; the Fall |
|
|
Festival is held in November, and the Parade of Nations takes |
|
|
place in May; the school also offers a rotation of physical |
|
|
education and music classes, and its extended library hours, its |
|
|
child-centered science laboratory, and its extracurricular |
|
|
activities play an important role in creating an excellent |
|
|
educational environment; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For 50 years, Larkspur Elementary School has |
|
|
provided its students with the foundation they need to be |
|
|
successful in their future educational endeavors, and the school |
|
|
deserves special recognition on this milestone in its history; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the administration, faculty, and |
|
|
staff of Larkspur Elementary School on their commitment to |
|
|
excellence in education over the last 50 years and extend to them |
|
|
best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the school as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
