in early education programs through the fifth grade; the school's | ||
faculty and staff, ably led by principal Cynthia Saenz, place an | ||
emphasis on providing pupils with a comprehensive learning | ||
experience that exposes them to a range of technologies while also | ||
building strong literary skills; in addition, students benefit from | ||
the campus's music and physical education programs as well as a | ||
number of community service opportunities that help them develop a | ||
strong sense of compassion; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through dedication, hard work, and perseverance, | ||
the teachers and students of Trevino Elementary have established a | ||
record of scholastic excellence, and their outstanding efforts have | ||
been duly recognized with the Blue Ribbon School award; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||

the school sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
