WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Linda Patterson, who is retiring after more than 30 | ||
years of outstanding service as a teacher with the Cotulla | ||
Independent School District; and | ||
WHEREAS, Linda Patterson came to the Cotulla Independent | ||
School District after completing her bachelor's degree at Our | ||
Lady of the Lake University in 1983; a longtime chemistry teacher | ||
at Cotulla High School, she returned to the university and earned | ||
a master's degree in 2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, Devoted to her work, Mrs. Patterson has assisted | ||
with a wide array of student activities over the years; she has | ||
taken students from different disciplines to University | ||
Interscholastic League competitions at the state level, and she | ||
sponsored a group of students whose petition for a tobacco-free | ||
campus led to a district-wide policy change; and | ||
WHEREAS, Her students have greatly benefited from her | ||
practical teaching methods, her encouragement, and her enthusiasm | ||
for sharing her love of science; she is the recipient of two Bell | ||
Awards and was named Teacher of the Year on multiple occasions; and | ||
WHEREAS, An exemplary educator, she is respected and admired | ||
by colleagues and students alike, and her presence at Cotulla | ||
High School will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Linda Patterson | ||
on her valuable contributions to the education of many | ||
generations of Cotulla students and extend to her best wishes for | ||
continued success in all her endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for her | ||
as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
