WHEREAS, Ava Barton of the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Troop |
|
|
No. 4189 has planned and implemented a project entitled "Honor the |
|
|
Flag" for the Girl Scout Silver Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A resident of Lumberton, Ms. Barton initiated the |
|
|
project to help provide her community with a designated place for |
|
|
people to take damaged flags for proper disposal; this notable |
|
|
endeavor involved repurposing a stainless-steel box that was once |
|
|
used for library book returns; after cleaning and repairing damages |
|
|
to the receptacle, Ms. Barton painted the box with an original |
|
|
design that features state and national symbols such as the Texas |
|
|
and U.S. flags, an armadillo, and a bald eagle, as well as the image |
|
|
of an American soldier; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Barton is the daughter of Myia and David Barton; |
|
|
a student at Lumberton Middle School, she has participated in Girl |
|
|
Scouts since the first grade; she also enjoys taking tae kwon do |
|
|
classes, and she is a member of Praise Church in Beaumont; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The leadership and dedication that Ava Barton has |
|
|
demonstrated in completing her project exemplify the highest ideals |
|
|
of the Girl Scouts organization, and she may indeed reflect with |
|
|
pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Ava Barton on her "Honor the Flag" |
|
|
project 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. Barton as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
