R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Deysi Martinez of Channelview has distinguished
herself by quickly mastering English as her second language and
winning third-place honors in the spelling bee at Crenshaw
Elementary School; and
WHEREAS, Miss Martinez could not speak English when she first
enrolled in the Channelview Independent School District in the
spring of 2010; in just a few short months, however, she became
fluent by studying hard with her teachers at Crenshaw Elementary
and by practicing with her classmates and a computer language
program; and
WHEREAS, Now a fourth grader, this remarkable young girl
improved her language skills so quickly that she decided to take
part in the school-wide Crenshaw spelling bee; her third-place
finish has thrilled her teachers and parents, and she will now have
the opportunity to participate in the district-wide spelling
competition; and
WHEREAS, Miss Martinez has also done an outstanding job with
her other schoolwork and was named the Crenshaw Student of the Month
for February 2011 in recognition of her good grades and excellent
citizenship skills; and
WHEREAS, In realizing her impressive accomplishments, Deysi
Martinez has demonstrated considerable intelligence and
dedication, and she may indeed take great pride in her success; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Deysi Martinez on rapidly
mastering English as her second language and on placing third in the
Crenshaw Elementary School spelling bee and extend to her sincere
best wishes for a bright future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Miss Martinez as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
