H.R. No. 241 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Miles Elementary School has been named a 2016 | ||
National Blue Ribbon School, one of the most prestigious | ||
designations an elementary or secondary school in the United States | ||
can receive; and | ||
WHEREAS, The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was created | ||
by the U.S. Department of Education in 1982 to recognize campuses | ||
that have demonstrated superior academic performance or made | ||
notable progress in improving outcomes among economically | ||
disadvantaged students; Miles Elementary was one of only 330 public | ||
and private schools nationwide and 29 schools in Texas to have | ||
earned this impressive honor in 2016; and | ||
WHEREAS, Situated among the cotton fields of West Texas, this | ||
small rural school serves approximately 200 students in early | ||
education programs through sixth grade; principal Sharla Arp leads | ||
the exceptional faculty and staff in implementing a variety of | ||
innovative strategies and research-based interventions to create a | ||
supportive and effective learning environment; student life is also | ||
enriched through district-wide activities such as pep rallies and | ||
sporting events; and | ||
WHEREAS, The dedicated, hardworking teachers and students of | ||
Miles Elementary School 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 | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Miles Elementary School on its | ||
selection as a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. | ||
Department of Education and that all those associated with the | ||
school be extended sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
