H.R. No. 2590

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Julieta Brusco, a student at Incarnate Word Academy
	in Corpus Christi, won the grand national championship title for
	first grade in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest;
	and
	WHEREAS, Launched in 1991, this annual competition
	challenges students from kindergarten through eighth grade to
	demonstrate their handwriting abilities by composing a "pangram,"
	or a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet, which
	is then judged based on the criteria of legibility, size, shape,
	spacing, and slant; and
	WHEREAS, Julieta's penmanship earned her top marks for her
	grade at the local and state levels and allowed her to advance to
	the national semifinals, where she won first place; that
	distinction came with a $1,000 prize, which she plans to spend on
	books, food, and water for children in need; in preparing for this
	contest, she greatly benefited from the guidance of her teacher
	Sandra Ledesma; and
	WHEREAS, A source of tremendous pride to her family and her
	school, Julieta Brusco has shown considerable skill, initiative,
	and perseverance in the pursuit of her goals, and her
	accomplishments surely herald a future bright with promise; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Julieta Brusco on winning the grand
	national championship for her grade level in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser
	National Handwriting Contest and extend to her sincere best wishes
	for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Brusco as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
