| WHEREAS, For more than 25 years, The Covenant School in | ||
| Dallas has provided students with a classical Christian | ||
| education rooted in the pursuit of knowledge in the areas of | ||
| grammar, logic, and rhetoric, with inspiration from classic | ||
| literature; and | ||
| WHEREAS, During the past school year, the fifth grade class | ||
| at Covenant has demonstrated great diligence in studying the | ||
| history of the great State of Texas; to supplement their | ||
| instruction, the students attended a living history day that | ||
| taught them about the real lives of early Texas settlers, and | ||
| they also learned about the Alamo and read a historical novel | ||
| about a German family who immigrated to the Texas Hill Country; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, To immerse themselves further in the story of | ||
| Texas, the fifth grade class performed a play for younger | ||
| students in Covenant's Grammar School about the meaning and | ||
| history of the six national flags that have flown over Texas | ||
| during its different eras of governance; the class's yearlong | ||
| project culminated in a multi-day trip to the Bob Bullock Texas | ||
| State History Museum and the Texas State Capitol and a visit to | ||
| the historic Mission San José in San Antonio; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Throughout this endeavor, the students received | ||
| excellent instruction and leadership from teachers Megan Yohe, | ||
| Carrie Anthony, Anne Walton, Jennifer Farrow, and Jody Gibson and | ||
| from administrators Dr. Robert Littlejohn, Laura Mountjoy, | ||
| Melanie Mittel, and Caylin Brown; their teachers were | ||
| responsible not only for implementing the lesson plan but also | ||
| for guiding students in completing service-oriented tasks at | ||
| Covenant, which included raising and lowering the American and | ||
| Texas flags according to proper protocols; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Students in the fifth grade class at The Covenant | ||
| School have demonstrated a commendable interest in the people and | ||
| events that have shaped the Lone Star State, and it is a pleasure | ||
| to recognize these outstanding young Texans; now, therefore, be | ||
| it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby honor the fifth grade students from The | ||
| Covenant School for their dedication to learning about Texas | ||
| history and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued | ||
| success as engaged citizens and lifelong learners; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for the class as an expression of high regard from the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
| Parker | ||
