WHEREAS, Members of the Richardson Independent School |
|
District Council of PTAs are gathering at the State Capitol on |
|
February 25, 2019; and |
|
WHEREAS, The RISD Council of PTAs can trace its origins back |
|
to the founding of the Richardson Mother's Club in 1910; nearly two |
|
decades later, in 1929, the Richardson PTA joined the National |
|
Parent Teacher Association, and the organization became the RISD |
|
Council of PTAs in 1959 under the leadership of inaugural president |
|
Marie Holcomb; and |
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, the members of the council have |
|
dedicated themselves to supporting the health, education, and |
|
overall well-being of children across the district, which is |
|
located in Dallas County; the group has established a number of |
|
initiatives of benefit to students and their families, such as the |
|
parent advisory committee, used book fair, clothes closet, and prom |
|
dress boutique; and |
|
WHEREAS, Drawing on the efforts of more than 19,000 members, |
|
the RISD Council of PTAs includes 54 local PTA units at campuses in |
|
Richardson, Dallas, and Garland; moreover, the council provides |
|
assistance to the district's alternative school; and |
|
WHEREAS, For the past six decades, the Richardson ISD Council |
|
of PTAs has advocated for area schoolchildren and worked to advance |
|
the mission of the district, and in so doing, it has played a vital |
|
role in making Dallas County an even better place in which to live |
|
and raise a family; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor the members of the Richardson Independent |
|
School District Council of PTAs on the occasion of their visit to |
|
the State Capitol and extend to them sincere best wishes for the |
|
future. |
