RESOLUTION
Commending

students; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Janice Ramsey is currently an eighth grade Language Arts teacher at E.T. Booth
Middle School; and
WHEREAS,
she has loved to write since she was in fifth grade when one of her poems was
published in a national magazine; and
WHEREAS,
when she began teaching 12 years ago, she wanted to find more effective and
authentic ways for students to learn and she wanted them to connect to the world
outside of school and provide opportunities for self-discovery; and
WHEREAS,
while Janice was attending Kennesaw State University, she learned about writing
through a writer´s workshop format, and she brought that idea with her to
E.T. Booth Middle School; and
WHEREAS,
many of her former students come back and tell her that the workshop is one of
their favorite learning experiences; and
WHEREAS,
Janice´s classroom is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and the
students learn how to communicate in a digital world; and
WHEREAS,
it is only fitting to recognize the great contributions this outstanding teacher
has made to her students and how they will benefit from her
teaching.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend
Janice Ramsey on her dedicated and effective teaching of communication skills to
her students.
