National FFA Week, members, advisors, and guests of the Texas FFA | |||||
Association are gathering in Austin from February 21 to 26, 2021, | |||||
to celebrate Texas FFA Week at the State Capitol; and | |||||
WHEREAS, For the past century, the Texas FFA has helped | |||||
youth develop knowledge and skills in industries related to | |||||
agriculture, food, and natural resources; the FFA program is | |||||
integral to a three-part educational model that also encompasses | |||||
classroom instruction and work-based learning through supervised | |||||
agricultural experiences, which may include such activities as | |||||
starting a business, conducting scientific research, or working | |||||
in production for an established company; and | |||||
WHEREAS, This noteworthy organization fosters good | |||||
citizenship and strong leadership in Texas schools, and over the | |||||
course of its long history, it has produced many outstanding | |||||
community, state, and national leaders of industry, education, | |||||
and government, including many members who have served in this | |||||
chamber; and | |||||
WHEREAS, The largest FFA affiliate in the country, the | |||||
Texas association has more than 137,000 members and is guided by | |||||
elected officers who each represent one of the state's 12 FFA | |||||
areas; those individuals are Blake Mills, president of Area VII, | |||||
Emilee Sanderson, first vice president of Area II, Faith Snapp of | |||||
Area I, Annie Valicek of Area III, Kirby Russell of Area IV, | |||||
Caitlyn Muckensturm of Area V, Bella Yoder of Area VI, Amy Wallen | |||||
of Area VIII, Carson Davis of Area IX, Alexa Salinas of Area X, | |||||
Ryan Williamson of Area XI, and Rachel Bradford of Area XII; | |||||
every year, the organization awards more than $1 million in | |||||
scholarships to deserving members who have demonstrated academic | |||||
excellence, career readiness, and preparation for effective | |||||
civic engagement; and | |||||
WHEREAS, The Texas FFA Association contributes | |||||
immeasurably to the success of agricultural, career, and | |||||
technical education, and in so doing, it has greatly enhanced the | |||||
prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | |||||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | |||||
Legislature, hereby recognize February 21 to 26, 2021, as Texas | |||||
FFA Week at the State Capitol and extend to all those | |||||
participating sincere best wishes for an informative and | |||||
enjoyable event; and, be it further | |||||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | |||||
prepared for the Texas FFA Association as an expression of high | |||||
regard from the Texas Senate. | |||||
