Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and congratulate this outstanding educator upon his selection for this truly deserved award and extend to him best wishes for a happy and productive year representing South Carolina's forty-seven thousand teachers. Now, therefore,
