	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 89th 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
	until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally
	passed by the legislature.
