| WHEREAS, Ruth Cherry Elementary is named for Norris Ruth | ||

| facilities will be transformed into an early childhood center; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By equipping young Texans with the knowledge and | ||
| skills necessary for success, Ruth Cherry Elementary School is | ||
| making a positive and lasting difference in its community, and the | ||
| construction of a new campus will enhance its efforts in that | ||
| crucial endeavor; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the | ||
