WHEREAS, A delegation of 10th-grade students from the ROPP
for Girls program is visiting the State Capitol on March 14, 2017;
and
WHEREAS, ROPP, which stands for Rites of Passage Program,
provides young women in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with Bible-based
training and experiences; the program seeks to help students pass

management, decision making, cooking, sewing, etiquette, and fine
arts appreciation; a highlight of the program is a trip to Ghana for
juniors and seniors; and
WHEREAS, By teaching young women good values and the ability
to lead healthy, productive lives, ROPP for Girls is making a
positive and lasting difference in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and
it is indeed deserving of recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend ROPP for Girls for its contributions to
the community and extend to the ROPP participants visiting the
Capitol sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable
experience.
