SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 807
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Members of the drama club at Crockett Middle |
|
|
School in Pecos demonstrated an outstanding commitment to the |
|
|
arts by organizing a quote-a-thon fund-raiser; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For the event, club members tasked themselves |
|
|
with memorizing 20 quotations from Shakespeare's works, ranging |
|
|
from one to eight lines, as well as with identifying the play, |
|
|
act, and scene in which each passage appears and the character |
|
|
who spoke it; the students then had to correctly recite their |
|
|
selections and answer questions on them, or else complete one lap |
|
|
of the school's track; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Participants solicited donations for the benefit, |
|
|
and a portion of the event's proceeds helped to fund a trip for |
|
|
the students to attend a performance of Larry Shue's The |
|
|
Foreigner at the Odessa College Globe Theater; the club also made |
|
|
a generous contribution to Texans for the Arts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the guidance of club sponsor Michelle |
|
|
Taylor, the Crockett students who took part in the fund-raiser |
|
|
include Anjelica Mata, Courtney Hollon, Haley Hodges, Kaitlyn |
|
|
Loya, Jonathan Marquez, Louis Le, Gianna Rico, J'Lynn Estorga, |
|
|
Lauren Conger, Harvey Fuentes, and Adriel Carrasco; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their efforts, these fine young Texans |
|
|
not only enhanced their knowledge of the arts but also helped |
|
|
to support vibrant arts communities across the Lone Star |
|
|
State, and they are indeed deserving of special recognition; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby recognize the members of the Crockett Middle |
|
|
School drama club on their participation in the Shakespeare |
|
|
quote-a-thon and extend to them sincere best wishes for the |
|
|
future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the group as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
