| H.R. No. 1941 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The year 2013 marks a significant milestone in the | ||
| life of Barbara Lynn, for she is celebrating her 50th anniversary as | ||
| a teacher at Quitman Elementary School; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The daughter of an educator, Barbara Lynn knew from | ||
| an early age that she wanted to become a teacher; she earned her | ||
| degree from East Texas State University in Commerce and embarked on | ||
| her career at Quitman in 1963; over the years, she has taught | ||
| second, third, and fourth grades, but she has focused exclusively | ||
| on the first grade since 1972; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Lynn has taught generations of Quitman | ||
| residents and has even inspired several former students to become | ||
| teachers; despite the numerous changes that have taken place in | ||
| education in the past five decades, especially in standardized | ||
| testing and technology, Mrs. Lynn has adapted and has found that the | ||
| basics of "reading, writing, and arithmetic" are as important as | ||
| ever; a dynamic teacher with high expectations, she nevertheless | ||
| creates a fun and nurturing classroom environment for her students; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, For half a century, countless young Texans have | ||
| benefited from Barbara Lynn's dedication and passion for education, | ||
| and it is a pleasure to join in recognizing her many years of | ||
| exemplary service to the students of the Quitman Independent School | ||
| District; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby honor Barbara Lynn for her 50 years of service at | ||
| Quitman Elementary School and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mrs. Lynn as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
