WHEREAS, Throckmorton High School senior Peyton Woods has |
|
helped to preserve an important facet of local history by producing |
|
a supplemental workbook for the Throckmorton Independent School |
|
District; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Woods began this project after discovering that |
|
the pre-Civil War military outpost Camp Cooper in Throckmorton |
|
County was publicly inaccessible and thus ineligible for |
|
registration with the Texas Heritage Trails Program; after |
|
performing extensive research on the historical site, he created |
|
junior high-level study material to supplement the district's Texas |
|
history curriculum, and soon thereafter, his work was approved for |
|
use by the Throckmorton ISD Board of Trustees; he also donated 20 |
|
books, many signed by the authors, relating to county history to the |
|
school library; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Throckmorton Chamber of Commerce has committed |
|
to having 25 copies of the material professionally bound and |
|
donated to the local school system and the area homeschooling |
|
cooperative; Mr. Woods is currently using the curriculum to compete |
|
in Leadership TMCN, a scholarship program administered by the Texas |
|
Midwest Community Network; and |
|
WHEREAS, This notable young Texan has distinguished himself |
|
through his efforts in behalf of Throckmorton ISD, and he may indeed |
|
take great pride in knowing that his work will help local students |
|
learn about the rich history of their county for years to come; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend Peyton Woods for contributing to the |
|
Texas history curriculum adopted by the Throckmorton Independent |
|
School District and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued |
|
success; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Mr. Woods as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
