WHEREAS, For the past 110 years, Texas PTA has helped | ||
young Texans to reach their full potential by empowering families | ||
and communities to become advocates for all children; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since its founding by Ella Caruthers Porter on | ||
October 19, 1909, this outstanding organization has led the way | ||
in supporting the health, education, and overall well-being of | ||
children across the state; in addition, the group has served as a | ||
valued resource for parents, teachers, school administrators, | ||
and community leaders; and | ||
WHEREAS, Drawing on the efforts of half a million members, | ||
Texas PTA has a presence on nearly 3,000 campuses in the state, | ||
and its headquarters are located in the heart of downtown Austin | ||
near the Capitol; the organization is skillfully led by president | ||
Sheri Doss of San Antonio, a mother of two, volunteer, and | ||
activist who has most recently served on the Texas Board of | ||
Education Long-Range Plan Steering Committee; and | ||
WHEREAS, By acting as a voice for the children of Texas and | ||
advancing the mission of their schools, Texas PTA has played a | ||
vital role in making the Lone Star State an even better place in | ||
which to live and raise a family, and it is a pleasure to | ||
recognize the members of this notable group at this time; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize Texas PTA for its work in behalf of | ||
the state's youth and extend to all those associated with the | ||

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for Texas PTA as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas Senate. | ||
