from prekindergarten through fourth grade; the school has a very | ||
diverse student body, which includes a large proportion of | ||
economically disadvantaged students and students who are learning | ||
English as a second language, and its faculty members are committed | ||
to ensuring that each child receives a high-quality education that | ||
transcends socioeconomic and language barriers; the school has made | ||
tremendous progress over the past five years, and it currently | ||
holds an "A" accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Through hard work and perseverance, the teachers and | ||
students of Sunset Elementary have established a record of | ||
scholastic excellence, and their outstanding efforts have been duly | ||
recognized with the Blue Ribbon School award; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Sunset | ||

School by the U.S. Department of Education and extend to all those | ||
involved with the school sincere best wishes for the future; and, be | ||
it further | ||
