WHEREAS, Families, students, educators, and business | ||
leaders are gathering in Austin on March 25, 2019, to celebrate | ||
The Power of Pre-K Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Each year, more than 200,000 young Texans attend | ||
prekindergarten classes, where they begin building a solid | ||
foundation for academic achievement and for social and emotional | ||
learning; these programs prepare participants for kindergarten | ||
while also encouraging them to become early readers and lifelong | ||
learners; and | ||
WHEREAS, Many of the children in Texas pre-K classes come | ||
from low-income backgrounds or from families where English is not | ||
the primary language; studies show that these students are three | ||
times more likely to be kindergarten-ready after attending | ||
high-quality, full-day pre-K classes; and | ||
WHEREAS, Early childhood education helps set students on | ||
the path to acquiring the skills and knowledge they need to | ||
become productive and engaged citizens, and these programs are an | ||
invaluable investment in the continued vitality and prosperity | ||
of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize March 25, 2019, as The Power of Pre-K | ||
Day at the State Capitol and extend to all pre-K students, their | ||
families, and their teachers sincere best wishes for the future. | ||
Taylor | ||
