SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 12
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize teacher Lori Kirkhuff and the fourth grade students of
  Bransford Elementary School for their outstanding success in the
  implementation of the Green Thumbs for Giving class project; and
         WHEREAS, Green Thumbs for Giving is an example of
  project-based learning that brings together several core
  subjects in a hands-on way; led by the mathematics and
  digital-classroom instructor, the Bransford Elementary School
  pupils have planted an herb garden, and they are using proceeds
  from the sales of its yield to purchase school supplies for less
  fortunate students; and
         WHEREAS, The herb garden includes sage, rosemary, thyme,
  and basil, which were planted from seed in February; the project
  has allowed youngsters to observe the growth cycle of plants and
  has taught them the significance of cooperation and the necessity
  of planning ahead; and
         WHEREAS, In the process, these budding philanthropists
  are learning important elements of mathematics, science,
  communications, and technology, all of which are necessary in the
  execution of such a project; and
         WHEREAS, In addition to planting and harvesting the herbs,
  class members have been involved in many other aspects of the
  project, including packaging the herbs with recipe cards,
  creating advertisements for the school newsletter, composing
  press releases, writing thank-you notes to business sponsors,
 
  addresses, as well as a start-to-finish multimedia documentation
  of the project; and
         WHEREAS, Green Thumbs for Giving is a remarkable classroom
  project that educates participants in traditional disciplines
  while instilling in them a sense of generosity and community
  service; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Bransford
  Elementary School teacher Lori Kirkhuff and the fourth grade
  students who are participating in the Green Thumbs for Giving
  project; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
