HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Teachers make a difference each day with the energy
and creativity they bring to the education of our children; and
WHEREAS, They help keep American democracy alive by laying
the foundation for good citizenship, and they instill in young
people a love of learning; and
WHEREAS, Filling such roles as instructor, motivator,
encourager, and mentor, teachers continue to influence us long
after our school days are over; and

teachers, and it is indeed fitting to recognize these committed men

resource; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby designate the first full week of May as Texas Teacher
Appreciation Week; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That in accordance with the provisions of Section
391.004(d), Government Code, the designation remains in effect
until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is passed.
