|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Four seniors from Crosbyton High School, Timothy | ||
| Appling, Briana Garcia, Kenley Henn, and Rose Williams, won the | ||
| 2017 H2YOU water conservation awareness contest after presenting | ||
| their project before a panel of judges on January 30, 2017; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The competition is sponsored by the High Plains | ||
| Underground Water Conservation District in Lubbock, a body that | ||
| focuses on conserving and protecting groundwater in the aquifers | ||
| found within the 16 counties it serves; the first-place prize is an | ||
| all-expenses-paid trip to Austin, where the students on the winning | ||
| team present their municipal water conservation campaign proposal | ||
| to their state legislator and members of the Texas Water | ||
| Development Board; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Under the guidance of sponsors Sharon West and Ben | ||
| Stokes, the group from Crosbyton High School used the theme | ||
| "Investigating Possibilities" to examine the city of Crosbyton's | ||
| current water resources and explore potential water conservation | ||
| strategies, such as retrofitting the existing water treatment plant | ||
| at White River Lake for greater efficiency and reusing treated | ||
| wastewater in nonpotable applications; this is the third year in a | ||
| row that students from the Crosbyton Independent School District | ||
| have won the contest; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With their fine showing in the H2YOU competition, | ||
| these outstanding young Texans have brought credit to themselves | ||
| and to their school, and they may take justifiable pride in the | ||
| impressive results of their hard work and their deep engagement in a | ||
| vital issue; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Crosbyton High School team on | ||
| winning the 2017 H2YOU water conservation awareness contest and | ||
| extend to Timothy Appling, Briana Garcia, Kenley Henn, and Rose | ||
| Williams sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
