  H.R. No. 145
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, A number of outstanding Texas organizations are
  working together to raise awareness of the importance of
  out-of-school initiatives for students, and it is indeed fitting to
  acknowledge their endeavors as they gather in Austin on January 23,
  2017, for Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) Day at the State
  Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, The Texas Partnership for Out of School Time is a
  statewide network of nonprofit, public, and private sector groups
  dedicated to providing K-12 students with a wide selection of
  before-school, after-school, and summer-break activities; its
  sweeping list of providers ranges from such nationally recognized
  organizations as the YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, and 4-H to local
  service and faith-based organizations and municipal programs; and
         WHEREAS, ELO initiatives give youths, many of whom are
  otherwise unsupervised after school hours, a safe and supportive
  environment where they can engage in science, technology,
  engineering, and math (STEM) education, performing and fine arts,
  health and nutrition programs, physical activity, and character
  building; participation in these activities has been shown to
  improve grades, test scores, attendance, behavior, and grade
  promotion; and
         WHEREAS, Expanded Learning Opportunities programs have
  helped countless young Texans to aspire to the highest level of
  personal development and have enhanced the quality of life in
  communities across the state, and those who devote their time and
  energy to these goals are deserving of our deep respect and
  appreciation; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize January 23, 2017, as Expanded Learning
  Opportunities (ELO) Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those
  participating sincere best wishes for the future.
