SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 21
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize January 28, 2009, as Texas Capitol Schoolhouse Day; and

schools and to provide information to legislators and other state
leaders on how these technologies improve the learning process;
and

the Capitol, and throughout the event, they conduct classes as

is helping to prepare the children of Texas for the future; now,
therefore, be it
