Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Rhonda Parrish has been selected 2023-2024 Staff Person of the Year for Sandhills Middle School in Lexington School District Four; and

Whereas, as Sandhills Middle School's bookkeeper, Ms. Parrish prepares financial reports for the principal and works with the principal in the review of these reports to ensure proper management of the school's finances; and

Whereas, among many other duties, Ms. Parrish periodically discusses with staff, as well as with students involved in financial responsibilities (treasurers, for example), appropriate control requirements; and

Whereas, these requirements include, but are not limited to, proper budget planning, the need for receiving reports, and ticket control; and

Whereas, Principal Brad Coleman attests that Rhonda Parrish is the true heartbeat of Sandhills Middle School and that she exemplifies the school's core values of "lead, learn, serve, and excel"; and

Whereas, it is entirely appropriate for the South Carolina House of Representatives to pause in its deliberations to honor Rhonda Parrish of Lexington School District Four, 2023-2024 Sandhills Middle School Staff Person of the Year, for her consistently outstanding labors as bookkeeper, all of which assist the school in providing students the opportunity to live complete and successful lives as the future leaders of their communities. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Rhonda Parrish of Lexington School District Four upon being named 2023-2024 Sandhills Middle School Staff Person of the Year, express appreciation for her dedicated service to Sandhills Middle School, and wish her continued success in the future.
