H.R. No. 929 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The inaugural Kindness Crusade in the Richardson | ||
Independent School District took place from February 13 through 17, | ||
2023, providing a fitting opportunity to recognize Jane Tucker for | ||
designing and leading the campaign; and | ||
WHEREAS, A member of Altrusa International of Richardson, | ||
Ms. Tucker united nearly 23,000 students at Richardson ISD | ||
elementary schools through the Kindness Crusade; during the | ||
program, participants read and discussed Her Own Two Feet: A | ||
Rwandan Girl's Brave Fight to Walk by Meredith Davis and Rebeka | ||
Uwitonze, a nonfiction novel about a young girl affected by | ||
congenital clubfoot; the book was selected for the initiative to | ||
teach students the importance of kindness and empathy and to | ||
provide them with an opportunity to learn more about disabilities; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Tucker has further distinguished herself | ||
through her contributions to other local organizations, such as | ||
Friends Place Adult Day Services; in 2020, she played an | ||
instrumental role in raising funds for the center's Longest Day | ||
event, which benefits the Alzheimer's Association; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through her dedicated and compassionate efforts, | ||
Jane Tucker has made a positive difference in her community, and she | ||
has set an inspiring example of civic engagement to which others may | ||
aspire; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Jane Tucker for her contributions to the | ||
inaugural Kindness Crusade in the Richardson Independent School | ||
District 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. Tucker as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
