SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 449
         WHEREAS, For more than 25 years, The Covenant School in
  Dallas has provided students with a classical Christian
  education rooted in the pursuit of knowledge in the areas of
  grammar, logic, and rhetoric, with inspiration from classic
  literature; and
 
         WHEREAS, During the past school year, the fifth grade class
  at Covenant has demonstrated great diligence in studying the
  history of the great State of Texas; to supplement their
  instruction, the students attended a living history day that
  taught them about the real lives of early Texas settlers, and
  they also learned about the Alamo and read a historical novel
  about a German family who immigrated to the Texas Hill Country;
  and
 
         WHEREAS, To immerse themselves further in the story of
  Texas, the fifth grade class performed a play for younger
  students in Covenant's Grammar School about the meaning and
  history of the six national flags that have flown over Texas
  during its different eras of governance; the class's yearlong
  project culminated in a multi-day trip to the Bob Bullock Texas
  State History Museum and the Texas State Capitol and a visit to
  the historic Mission San José in San Antonio; and
 
         WHEREAS, Throughout this endeavor, the students received
  excellent instruction and leadership from teachers Megan Yohe,
  Carrie Anthony, Anne Walton, Jennifer Farrow, and Jody Gibson and
  from administrators Dr. Robert Littlejohn, Laura Mountjoy,
  Melanie Mittel, and Caylin Brown; their teachers were
  responsible not only for implementing the lesson plan but also
  for guiding students in completing service-oriented tasks at
  Covenant, which included raising and lowering the American and
  Texas flags according to proper protocols; and
 
         WHEREAS, Students in the fifth grade class at The Covenant
  School have demonstrated a commendable interest in the people and
  events that have shaped the Lone Star State, and it is a pleasure
  to recognize these outstanding young Texans; now, therefore, be
  it
 
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby honor the fifth grade students from The
  Covenant School for their dedication to learning about Texas
  history and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued
  success as engaged citizens and lifelong learners; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for the class as an expression of high regard from the
  Texas Senate.
