WHEREAS, The inaugural Kindness Crusade in the Richardson
Independent School District took place from February 13 through 17,
2023, providing a fitting opportunity to recognize Jane Tucker for
designing and leading the campaign; and
WHEREAS, A member of Altrusa International of Richardson,
Ms. Tucker united nearly 23,000 students at Richardson ISD
elementary schools through the Kindness Crusade; during the
program, participants read and discussed Her Own Two Feet: A
Rwandan Girl's Brave Fight to Walk by Meredith Davis and Rebeka
Uwitonze, a nonfiction novel about a young girl affected by
congenital clubfoot; the book was selected for the initiative to
teach students the importance of kindness and empathy and to
provide them with an opportunity to learn more about disabilities;
and
WHEREAS, Ms. Tucker has further distinguished herself
through her contributions to other local organizations, such as
Friends Place Adult Day Services; in 2020, she played an
instrumental role in raising funds for the center's Longest Day
event, which benefits the Alzheimer's Association; and
WHEREAS, Through her dedicated and compassionate efforts,
Jane Tucker has made a positive difference in her community, and she
has set an inspiring example of civic engagement to which others may
aspire; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Jane Tucker for her contributions to the
inaugural Kindness Crusade in the Richardson Independent School
District 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. Tucker as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
