WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the South East Arlington Property Owners and Paloma | ||
Resources on their foresight and community spirit in | ||
establishing a scholarship fund and to congratulate the | ||
recipients of the fund's first five scholarships; and | ||
WHEREAS, These two exemplary organizations have come | ||
together to award a series of scholarships to deserving local | ||
students; and | ||
WHEREAS, The groundwork for this effort was laid five years | ||
ago when Paloma Resources donated $100,000 to begin a scholarship | ||
fund to be augmented with royalties from the proceeds of a | ||
gas-drilling contract negotiated with South East Arlington | ||
Property Owners; and | ||
WHEREAS, Receiving these scholarships are Derek Rodriquez, | ||
Sydney Ann Szmuc, and Chandra Hamilton of Arlington High School | ||
and Mykayla Coates and Relius Johnson of Bowie High School; these | ||
young scholars earned the grants by maintaining 3.0 grade-point | ||
averages, participating in extracurricular activities, and | ||
writing an essay on educational goals and patriotism; and | ||
WHEREAS, Education plays a major role in the state's growth | ||
and prosperity, and the example set by these two outstanding | ||
organizations can be a viable model for future partnerships; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend the South East | ||
Arlington Property Owners and Paloma Resources on their | ||
scholarship initiative and extend congratulations to the | ||
recipients of the first set of scholarships from their | ||
groundbreaking agreement; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
Davis | ||
