|
|
invited to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with their elected |

|
this marks Porter High School's third consecutive Solve for |
|
|
Tomorrow victory; and |

|
WHEREAS, These outstanding young Texans won the national |
|
|
contest with their entry titled "HiveHub," an innovative device |

|
|
records data on hive traffic, climate, and activity while |
|
|
displaying live feedback through an app; ably guided by teacher |
|
|
Autumn Dowdy, the group received valuable contributions from each |
|

|
justifiable pride in their outstanding accomplishment; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
