TO CONGRATULATE THE STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATION OF BELL'S CROSSING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN GREENVILLE COUNTY ON RECEIVING A 2009 CAROLINA FIRST PALMETTO'S FINEST AWARD.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives note with pleasure that on March 9, 2009, Bell's Crossing Elementary School in Greenville County received a 2009 Carolina First Palmetto's Finest award; and

Whereas, sponsored by the South Carolina Association of School Administrators and several partner businesses, this prestigious awards program annually honors two elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school that maintain innovative, effective educational programs; and

Whereas, looking beyond academics to such things as what students do for their community, judges consider a school's instructional program, school culture, student achievement, and quality of faculty and staff; and

Whereas, no stranger to high honors, Bell's Crossing Elementary School has demonstrated to all that persistent excellence pays off; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives is proud to affirm Bell's Crossing Elementary School's place as an exemplar of all that is good and positive in public education in South Carolina, and the members join Bell's Crossing Elementary's many friends in congratulating the school on this, its latest achievement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the students, faculty, staff, and administration of Bell's Crossing Elementary School in Greenville County on receiving a 2009 Carolina First Palmetto's Finest award.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Principal Barbara Barlow of Bell's Crossing Elementary School.
