H.R. No. 2590
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Julieta Brusco, a student at Incarnate Word Academy
  in Corpus Christi, won the grand national championship title for
  first grade in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest;
  and
         WHEREAS, Launched in 1991, this annual competition
  challenges students from kindergarten through eighth grade to
  demonstrate their handwriting abilities by composing a "pangram,"
  or a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet, which
  is then judged based on the criteria of legibility, size, shape,
  spacing, and slant; and
         WHEREAS, Julieta's penmanship earned her top marks for her
  grade at the local and state levels and allowed her to advance to
  the national semifinals, where she won first place; that
  distinction came with a $1,000 prize, which she plans to spend on
  books, food, and water for children in need; in preparing for this
  contest, she greatly benefited from the guidance of her teacher
  Sandra Ledesma; and
         WHEREAS, A source of tremendous pride to her family and her
  school, Julieta Brusco has shown considerable skill, initiative,
  and perseverance in the pursuit of her goals, and her
  accomplishments surely herald a future bright with promise; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Julieta Brusco on winning the grand
  national championship for her grade level in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser
  National Handwriting Contest and extend to her sincere best wishes
  for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Ms. Brusco as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
