finish, as did the mathematics team of Mr. Welch, Ms. Tarango, Ms. | ||
Friesen, and Mayra Cueto; in addition, the number sense team of Mr. | ||
Welch, Ms. Tarango, Troy Alldredge, and Jack Chu finished third; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Two Plains High students claimed individual | ||

and also qualified for the state meet in mathematics, while Mr. | ||
Welch is the regional champion in mathematics and also qualified | ||

journalism teams all placed first; moreover, a group that included | ||
Ms. Cueto, Ms. Friesen, Mr. Friesen, and Mr. Welch won the Texas | ||

abilities against the other top high school performers in Texas, | ||
and they may take justifiable pride in their accomplishments; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Plains High School academic | ||
competitors for their exemplary performance in the regional meet | ||
and extend to them sincere best wishes for success at the University | ||
