CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, Teachers play a vital role in the academic success
  of our young people, and the designation of October 5 as Texas
  Teachers' Day serves as a fitting means to honor those who dedicate
  themselves to this important calling; and
         WHEREAS, By providing a high-quality education to millions of
  students across the state, Texas teachers are helping to ensure
  that the future of our communities rests in capable hands;
  educators devote countless hours to fostering supportive learning
  environments, and they demonstrate exceptional professionalism,
  creativity, adaptability, and resilience in all their endeavors;
  and
         WHEREAS, Each year, city councils, school boards,
  businesses, and local residents celebrate Texas Teachers' Day on
  October 5; held in conjunction with World Teachers' Day, the Texas
  observance encompasses special events and fundraising campaigns to
  benefit educators; participants also display light blue ribbons and
  illuminate buildings in the same color to symbolically acknowledge
  the role that teachers play as guiding lights for their students;
  and
         WHEREAS, Those who accept the demanding yet rewarding work of
  educating our children deserve the deepest gratitude of every
  Texan, and the official designation of Texas Teachers' Day helps
  raise awareness of their essential contributions; now, therefore,
  be it
         RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby designate October 5 as Texas Teachers' Day; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section
  391.004(d), Government Code, this designation remain in effect
