A
RESOLUTION
Commending
the Glynn County Public Schools Golden Rule Award Winners 2006-2007 for
Oglethorpe Point Elementary School; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
the Glynn County Public Schools Golden Rule Character Awards Program was
implemented during the 1999-2000 school year in accordance with the state
character education requirement; and
WHEREAS,
the program is founded on the guiding philosophy, "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you," and a sincere belief that if children understand this
motto, they would make every effort to avoid hurting others, given the
realization that in hurting others they would be bringing hurt upon themselves;
and
WHEREAS,
students, teachers, and staff members at each school are encouraged to place
their nominations in ballot boxes for students whose behavior consistently
demonstrates the values expressed by the Golden Rule Character Awards Program,
and a Golden Rule Selection Committee, composed of school staff and student
representatives, determines the monthly winners; and
WHEREAS,
the Golden Rule Character Awards Program is funded primarily by the Katz-Ray and
Helen Whittle, Jr. Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization established by
Helen Whittle Katz as a memorial to four deceased family members: her children,
Helen and Ray, Jr., and husbands Ray Whittle and Morris Katz; and
WHEREAS,
the following outstanding Oglethorpe Point Elementary School students have been
chosen as the recipients of the 2006-2007 Glynn County Public Schools Golden
Rule Award: Jessica Zito, Kate Lane, Emily Ann Stroud, A'naya James, Jack
Podlesny, and Sara Seckinger; and
WHEREAS,
they have exemplified the virtues of honesty, compassion, and citizenship, and
these students have brought honor to their school, their families, and the State
of Georgia.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body commend the Glynn County Public Schools Golden Rule Award Winners
2006-2007 for Oglethorpe Point Elementary School and extend to them their
sincerest best wishes for the future.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Oglethorpe
Point Elementary School and to each student named herein.
