H.R. No. 2590
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Julieta Brusco, a student at Incarnate Word Academy
in Corpus Christi, won the grand national championship title for
first grade in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest;
and
WHEREAS, Launched in 1991, this annual competition
challenges students from kindergarten through eighth grade to
demonstrate their handwriting abilities by composing a "pangram,"
or a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet, which
is then judged based on the criteria of legibility, size, shape,
spacing, and slant; and
WHEREAS, Julieta's penmanship earned her top marks for her
grade at the local and state levels and allowed her to advance to
the national semifinals, where she won first place; that
distinction came with a $1,000 prize, which she plans to spend on
books, food, and water for children in need; in preparing for this
contest, she greatly benefited from the guidance of her teacher
Sandra Ledesma; and
WHEREAS, A source of tremendous pride to her family and her
school, Julieta Brusco has shown considerable skill, initiative,
and perseverance in the pursuit of her goals, and her
accomplishments surely herald a future bright with promise; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Julieta Brusco on winning the grand
national championship for her grade level in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser
National Handwriting Contest and extend to her sincere best wishes
for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Brusco as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
