|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Grapeland FFA senior quiz team successfully | ||
| defended its 2013 championship title at the National Quiz | ||
| Competition on October 28, 2014; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A part of the National FFA Convention and Expo, the | ||
| National Quiz Competition allows members an opportunity to showcase | ||
| their in-depth knowledge of the organization; students from | ||
| chapters across the United States gather to take a difficult | ||
| 100-question test on topics such as FFA history, leadership, rules, | ||
| and symbols; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Grapeland FFA achieved its first national quiz | ||
| championship the same year, 2013, that it fielded its first senior | ||
| quiz competition team; participating in that contest were two | ||
| seniors, Mary Wardell and Atlana Watson, and two sophomores, Monic | ||
| Davila and Victoria Martin; this year, Ms. Davila and Ms. Martin | ||
| returned to the competition, joined by sophomore Rebekah Turner and | ||
| eighth-grader J. D. Martin, and the Grapeland senior quiz team once | ||
| again emerged triumphant; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Under the leadership of their coach, Gary Graham, | ||
| the students prepared for the event by following an intensive study | ||
| regimen; their two championship titles and high individual scores | ||
| attest to their commitment to excellence; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The members of the Grapeland senior quiz team are a | ||
| source of great pride to their families and to their school, and | ||
| their capacity for hard work and perseverance will indeed stand | ||
| them in good stead as they take on the challenges and opportunities | ||
| that await them; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Grapeland FFA senior team on | ||
| winning the National FFA Quiz Competition in 2013 and 2014 and | ||
| extend to the team's members sincere best wishes for continued | ||
| success and a bright future. | ||
