	WHEREAS, In conjunction with the annual observance of
	National FFA Week, members, advisors, and guests of the Texas FFA
	Association are gathering in Austin on February 19, 2025, to
	celebrate Texas FFA Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, For nearly a century, the Texas FFA has helped youth
	develop knowledge and skills in industries related to agriculture,
	food, and natural resources; the FFA program is integral to a
	three-part educational model that also encompasses classroom
	instruction and work-based learning through supervised
	agricultural experiences, which may include such activities as
	starting a business, conducting scientific research, or working in
	production for an established company; and
	WHEREAS, This noteworthy organization fosters good
	citizenship and strong leadership in Texas schools, and over the
	course of its long history, it has produced many outstanding
	community, state, and national leaders of industry, education, and
	government, including many members who have served in this chamber;
	and
	WHEREAS, The largest FFA affiliate in the country, the Texas
	association has more than 170,000 members and is guided by elected
	officers who each represent one of the state's 12 FFA areas; every
	year, the organization awards approximately $2.4 million in
	scholarships to deserving members who have demonstrated academic
	excellence, career readiness, and preparation for effective civic
	engagement; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas FFA Association contributes immeasurably
	to the success of agricultural, career, and technical education,
	and in so doing, it has greatly enhanced the prosperity of the Lone
	Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 19, 2025, as Texas FFA Day at
	the State Capitol and extend to all those participating sincere
	best wishes for an informative and enjoyable event; and, be it
	further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Texas FFA Association as an expression of high
	regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
