WHEREAS, Four seniors from Crosbyton High School, Timothy |
|
|
Appling, Briana Garcia, Kenley Henn, and Rose Williams, won the |
|
|
2017 H2YOU water conservation awareness contest after presenting |
|
|
their project before a panel of judges on January 30, 2017; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The competition is sponsored by the High Plains |
|
|
Underground Water Conservation District in Lubbock, a body that |
|
|
focuses on conserving and protecting groundwater in the aquifers |
|
|
found within the 16 counties it serves; the first-place prize is an |
|
|
all-expenses-paid trip to Austin, where the students on the winning |
|
|
team present their municipal water conservation campaign proposal |
|
|
to their state legislator and members of the Texas Water |
|
|
Development Board; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the guidance of sponsors Sharon West and Ben |
|
|
Stokes, the group from Crosbyton High School used the theme |
|
|
"Investigating Possibilities" to examine the city of Crosbyton's |
|
|
current water resources and explore potential water conservation |
|
|
strategies, such as retrofitting the existing water treatment plant |
|
|
at White River Lake for greater efficiency and reusing treated |
|
|
wastewater in nonpotable applications; this is the third year in a |
|
|
row that students from the Crosbyton Independent School District |
|
|
have won the contest; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With their fine showing in the H2YOU competition, |
|
|
these outstanding young Texans have brought credit to themselves |
|
|
and to their school, and they may take justifiable pride in the |
|
|
impressive results of their hard work and their deep engagement in a |
|
|
vital issue; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Crosbyton High School team on |
|
|
winning the 2017 H2YOU water conservation awareness contest and |
|
|
extend to Timothy Appling, Briana Garcia, Kenley Henn, and Rose |
|
|
Williams sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
