has also participated in cross-country, track, baseball, and | ||
football, was a member of the Thespian Society and the Computer | ||
Club, and placed first in the 2018 Eric "Malz" Malzkuhn ASL | ||
Literature Competition; active in his community, he started a food | ||
drive during the COVID-19 pandemic, and he has volunteered as a | ||
Sunday school teacher and usher at Sugar Creek Baptist Church and | ||
taken part in service opportunities in Puerto Rico, the Dominican | ||
Republic, and Jamaica; following his graduation, he plans to study | ||
engineering at Texas A&M University; and | ||
WHEREAS, During his years at Fort Bend Christian Academy, | ||
Jakob Jones has earned the respect and admiration of both his | ||
teachers and classmates, and his exceptional scholastic ability and | ||

promising future for this outstanding young Texan; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
