WHEREAS, The Royse City Independent School District is | ||
hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Ruth Cherry | ||
Elementary School campus on October 29, 2021; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ruth Cherry Elementary is named for Norris Ruth | ||
Tanton Cherry, a former educator and administrator of Royse City | ||
ISD; over the course of her career with the district, she served as | ||
an elementary and high school teacher, and she went on to become a | ||
principal at Browning Primary School and Royse City High School; | ||
she ultimately retired in 1998, and the district's intermediate | ||
school was dedicated in her honor in 2009; the campus transitioned | ||
into an elementary school in 2020, and it currently benefits from | ||
the able leadership of principal Kara Onken; and | ||
WHEREAS, The construction project for Ruth Cherry Elementary | ||
is being funded as part of a Royse City ISD bond package that passed | ||
in May 2021; the new campus will be located on Verandah Boulevard, | ||
and the school is scheduled to open in fall 2022; its current | ||
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 | ||
groundbreaking ceremony of the new Ruth Cherry Elementary School | ||
campus in Royse City ISD and extend to the school's students, | ||
faculty, staff, and administration 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. |
