||
WHEREAS, Candace Printz, an art teacher at El Dorado High | ||
School in El Paso, has been named a 2019 Environmental Educator of | ||
the Year by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Printz received this notable accolade, which | ||
comes with a $2,500 grant, in honor of her outstanding conservation | ||
efforts; in 2015, she led students at El Dorado High in collecting | ||
trash in the El Paso desert and using it to create works of art; | ||
called the It's Your World Project, this initiative has since grown | ||
to include an international traveling exhibition, an annual | ||
region-wide recycled art contest, and numerous public workshops on | ||
the benefits of recycling; moreover, it supplies local artists with | ||
reclaimed materials to use in their own work; and | ||
WHEREAS, The success of the program led Ms. Printz to design | ||
courses at El Dorado High devoted to teaching environmentalism | ||
through the arts and to establish a nonprofit called the Green Hope | ||
Project; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Printz was previously named a finalist for the | ||
H-E-B Excellence in Education Award in the Leadership Secondary | ||
category, and she won a national contest sponsored by Barnes & | ||
Noble; she holds a bachelor's degree in art from The University of | ||
Texas at El Paso and a master's degree in art education from Texas | ||
Tech University; and | ||
WHEREAS, By encouraging her students and other El Paso | ||
residents to preserve and protect their environment, Candace Printz | ||
is helping to ensure the continued health and vitality of the Lone | ||
Star State's natural resources, and she is indeed deserving of this | ||
most recent award; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Candace Printz on her selection as | ||
a 2019 Environmental Educator of the Year by the Texas Commission on | ||
Environmental Quality and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success with her important work; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Printz as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
