WHEREAS, The year 2013 marks a significant milestone in the
life of Barbara Lynn, for she is celebrating her 50th anniversary as
a teacher at Quitman Elementary School; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of an educator, Barbara Lynn knew from
an early age that she wanted to become a teacher; she earned her
degree from East Texas State Teachers College in Commerce and
embarked on her career at Quitman in 1953; over the years, she has
taught second, third, and fourth grades, but she has focused
exclusively on the first grade since 1972; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Lynn has taught generations of Quitman
residents and has even inspired several former students to become
teachers; despite the numerous changes that have taken place in
education in the past five decades, especially in standardized
testing and technology, Mrs. Lynn has adapted and has found that the
basics of "reading, writing, and arithmetic" are as important as
ever; a dynamic teacher with high expectations, she nevertheless
creates a fun and nurturing classroom environment for her students;
and
WHEREAS, For half a century, countless young Texans have
benefited from Barbara Lynn's dedication and passion for education,
and it is a pleasure to join in recognizing her many years of
exemplary service to the students of the Quitman Independent School
District; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby honor Barbara Lynn for her 50 years of service at
Quitman Elementary School and extend to her sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Lynn as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
