A house RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE JENNIFER WOLFE, EBENEZER MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN, ON BEING NAMED 2023 PEE DEE REGIONAL SCHOOL LIBRARIAN OF THE YEAR BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL LIBRARIANS; TO COMMEND HER FOR HER MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE; AND TO WISH HER MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives was pleased to learn that Jennifer Wolfe, Ebenezer Middle School librarian, was named 2023 Pee Dee Regional School Librarian of the Year by the South Carolina Association of School Librarians (SCASL); and

 

Whereas, in considering nominees for the award, the SCASL divides the State into four regions, in which there are more than one thousand school librarians. Ebenezer Middle is in the Sumter School District of the Pee Dee Region, which consists of school districts from twelve counties east and northeast of Columbia all the way to the coast. It is quite an honor to be selected from among so many fine candidates; and

 

Whereas, an announcement on Friday, November 17, 2023, revealed to Jennifer Wolfe that she had won this year's award. Present at her surprise celebration were Lessie Bernshouse, Wilder Elementary School library media specialist, who won the award last year; William Wright, Jr., Sumter School District superintendent; Shirley Gamble, district chief of schools; Bertha Timmons, principal of Ebenezer Middle School; and Shelly Galloway, executive director of communication and community engagement; and

 

Whereas, as the recipient of this award, Ms. Wolfe is also a finalist for State School Librarian of the Year, the winner of which will be announced at a conference in March 2024; and

 

Whereas, grateful for the consistent commitment and excellence as a librarian that Jennifer Wolfe has bestowed on the Palmetto State, most particularly in Sumter County, the House takes great pleasure in saluting her on being named the 2023 Pee Dee Regional School Librarian of the Year award, presented by the South Carolina Association of School Librarians. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Jennifer Wolfe, Ebenezer Middle School librarian, on being named 2023 Pee Dee Regional School Librarian of the Year by the South Carolina Association of School Librarians; commend her for her many years of dedicated service; and wish her much continued success in the days ahead.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Jennifer Wolfe.
