R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Stingers team of Horizon Heights Elementary
School in Horizon City received first place in the regional
Destination Imagination competition on February 28, 2015, earning
the right to proceed to the state tournament; and
WHEREAS, Since 1999, Destination Imagination has encouraged
students to reach creative, collaborative solutions through
diverse approaches; teams discover how to focus, frame challenges,
and take risks while developing patience, flexibility,
persistence, ethics, and respect for others; moreover, they gain
skills in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and the
arts, among other disciplines; and
WHEREAS, Guided by team sponsors Linda Hitter and Lori
Berumen, the Stingers took top honors in the "Fine Arts--Feary
Tales" category for their performance of "The Princess of Walalo";
the team's six outstanding members are students in grades 3-5; and
WHEREAS, The Stingers worked diligently to prepare for this
exciting competition, and their first-place finish is a source of
great pride to their teachers and classmates; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Stingers team of Horizon
Heights Elementary School on winning first place in the regional
Destination Imagination competition and extend to the members
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
