WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Krystal Contreras, who is being honored with a | ||
2018-2019 Milken Educator Award; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Milken Educator Awards program was established | ||
31 years ago to celebrate, recognize, and encourage innovative | ||
educators who are guiding the next generation of leaders and to | ||
inspire young people to consider teaching as a career; and | ||
WHEREAS, Krystal Contreras has been teaching elementary | ||
school children for 14 years, and she is currently a fourth-grade | ||
writing teacher at Dr. C.M. Cash Elementary School in San Benito, | ||
Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, A truly gifted educator, Krystal is motivated by | ||
the understanding that writing is a fundamental element of | ||
educational success, and she thoughtfully develops innovative | ||
and engaging lessons to help her students learn and become | ||
independent problem-solvers; and | ||
WHEREAS, She maintains high expectations in the classroom, | ||
and she is credited with helping to achieve a five-percent increase | ||
over the last year in the number of her school's fourth-graders who | ||
passed their end-of-year writing assessments; and | ||
WHEREAS, Krystal has promoted success throughout the | ||

knowledge and resources with her colleagues; she has also written | ||
curriculum and led professional development at the district's | ||

WHEREAS, Krystal Contreras is the first educator in the San | ||
Benito Consolidated Independent School District to earn a Milken | ||
Educator Award and one of only 33 across the nation to be honored | ||
with an award this year; she inspires others through her example, | ||
and she is indeed deserving of recognition for her recent | ||
