  H.R. No. 1442
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The Texas Capitol is hosting a compelling exhibit of
  children's art from April 18 through 22, 2011, that depicts the work
  of those who participated in the Service Learning Adventures in
  North Texas 45 initiative; and
         WHEREAS, Founded in partnership with the North Texas Super
  Bowl XLV Host Committee and the nonprofit organization Big Thought,
  SLANT 45 was designed to inspire children to create and implement
  service projects and improve their communities; and
         WHEREAS, This laudable program, which is named for a football
  play used by the Dallas Cowboys, ultimately involved more than
  44,000 youth, who completed over 445,000 hours of service
  throughout the region; representing 33 area school districts and
  more than 50 North Texas cities, these dedicated young people
  undertook a vast array of worthwhile projects, from providing
  computer literacy instruction to seniors, to establishing an
  anti-bullying program, to developing a school health fair and more;
  children involved in the project also served as the impetus behind
  the SLANT 45 Community Heroes Touring Art Exhibition, which was
  featured in several prominent locations throughout the Metroplex
  before coming to Austin; and
         WHEREAS, By participating in this remarkable endeavor,
  thousands of children have learned the value of teamwork and civic
  engagement, and their experiences have helped to awaken in them the
  joy inherent in helping others; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby commend the Service Learning Adventures in North
  Texas 45 initiative for promoting community service among young
  people and commend all those who took part in the endeavor on a job
  well done; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for SLANT 45 as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
