| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Mary Help of Christians School in Laredo on the grand | ||
| occasion of its 90th anniversary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 1935 a group of Salesian Sisters of Saint John | ||
| Bosco fled violence and persecution in Mexico and found a | ||
| permanent home for their order in the City of Laredo, where they | ||
| opened a school on Houston Street; the school opened with six | ||
| pupils, and it quickly grew to serve more students in neighboring | ||
| parishes before it moved into its current location on Del Mar | ||
| Boulevard in 1963; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Accredited by the Texas Education Agency, Mary | ||
| Help of Christians School now serves more than 430 students and | ||
| maintains a reputation for educational excellence in Laredo; | ||
| successful fund-raising efforts over the years have resulted in | ||
| the addition of classrooms as well as expansion of valuable | ||
| educational resources that ensures the school's ability to | ||
| provide an enriching environment for learning and spiritual | ||
| development for many years to come; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mary Help of Christians School faithfully honors | ||
| Saint John Bosco's mission to empower youth with a joyful vision | ||
| and hope for a better world while preparing them to become | ||
| well-educated, productive citizens with a global perspective; | ||
| all who contribute to its success are truly deserving of | ||
| recognition for their commitment to upholding the quality and | ||
| presence of this highly respected, historic Catholic institution | ||
| in Laredo; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the administrators, educators, and | ||
| staff of Mary Help of Christians School in Laredo and extend to | ||
| them congratulations on 90 years of success and best wishes for | ||
| the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the school as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
