recognize Service Learning Adventures in North Texas; and
WHEREAS, Created in partnership with the North Texas Super
Bowl XLV Host Committee and the nonprofit organization Big
Thought, Service Learning Adventures in North Texas, also known
as SLANT 45, was designed to inspire young people to create and
implement service projects that improve their communities; and
WHEREAS, This worthy program was begun with the goal of
involving 20,000 young people in performing 45,000 hours of
community service in the year leading up to Super Bowl XLV; it
ultimately involved more than 44,000 young people, who completed
some 445,000 hours of service throughout the region; and
WHEREAS, Representing 33 area school districts and 53
North Texas cities, these dedicated young people created a wide
variety of projects that benefited their communities, including
teaching computer literacy to senior citizens, establishing an
antibullying program, and producing a school health fair; they
also created the SLANT 45 Community Heroes Art Exhibition, which
reflects their experiences in the program; and
WHEREAS, Art from this exhibition is being displayed in the
ground floor rotunda of the Texas Capitol April 18 through 22,

young people be recognized and celebrated; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
