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. | ||
