counselors engage with parents to support the educational, |
|
|
personal, social, and emotional growth of their children; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, As committed educators, school counselors identify |
|
|
and utilize community resources to enhance comprehensive |
|
|
counseling programs; an integral part of the educational process, |
|
|
these programs enable students to succeed and become productive |
|
|
members of society; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Devoted to the development of our young people, |
|
|
professional school counselors are helping to ensure that the |
|
|
future of the Lone Star State rests in capable hands, and they are |
|
|
indeed deserving of special recognition for their invaluable work; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 1 through 7, 2021, as |
