A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE LUKE MELTON OF JOHNS ISLAND ON BEING NAMED A PALMETTOPRIDE YOUTH AMBASSADOR AND TO COMMEND HIM FOR HIS OUTSTANDING SERVICE IN MAKING OUR STATE BEAUTIFUL.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Luke Melton of Johns Island has been selected as a PalmettoPride Youth Ambassador; and

Whereas, joining Texas, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania, PalmettoPride in South Carolina launched its inaugural PalmettoPride Youth Ambassador program in 2022. Luke was one of two young people chosen for this special youth recognition initiative, which is open to South Carolina students from age 14 to age 18 with a passion for leadership and litter prevention; and

Whereas, appearing both locally and around the State, PalmettoPride Youth Ambassadors represent PalmettoPride for one year in peer-group events and activities and receive statewide recognition, assistance with college applications and resume building, community service hours, and a $1,000 scholarship; and

Whereas, PalmettoPride Youth Ambassador Luke Melton is a junior at Johns Island's Charleston Collegiate School. Currently serving as junior class representative in his school's student government, Luke takes the initiative in beautifying the school grounds and is a mentor to middle school classes through an internship with his school. He is currently enrolled in his school's Outdoor Education Center Jobs Crew, to which he dedicates his time in implementing campus projects involving health and sustainability; and

Whereas, Luke's nominating mentor wrote, "Luke has always been the student who helped clean up messes both in and outdoors. He is the student who always takes the initiative to help pick up around the classroom, to stick around after lunch to dispose of waste, and to scan the play area for any debris left behind by students"; and

Whereas, appreciative of his dedication and fine work in beautifying our State, the House takes great pleasure in recognizing Luke Melton as a PalmettoPride Youth Ambassador. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Luke Melton of Johns Island on being named a PalmettoPride Youth Ambassador and commend him for his outstanding service in making our State beautiful.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Luke Melton.
