Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate wish to congratulate Ms. Cheryl R. Martin on the occasion of her retirement after forty-four years as a dedicated public school teacher; and

Whereas, Ms. Martin has dedicated countless hours of her time to helping the students of Spartanburg County and has been "accused" by one of her principals that she "loves children into learning"; and

Whereas, Ms. Martin has touched the lives of many children who come back to see her often to thank her for the impact she made in their lives; and

Whereas, Ms. Martin participated in the TERI program, and retired, but continues to work at will in a critical needs school; and

Whereas, upon her retirement, Ms. Martin will be able to enjoy more time with her grandchildren Ashlyn, age nine, and Aidan, age four and one-half, and her son and daughter-in-law, Senator Shane and Mrs. Amy Martin; and

Whereas, in her retirement, Ms. Martin will continue to serve as pianist for Friendship Baptist Church in Pauline, South Carolina, and to care for the beautiful flowers in her garden; and

Whereas, Ms. Martin's service has contributed to the education and well-being of many grateful students, and her joy in singing and playing the piano has enhanced not only the weekly church services, but also many special occasions in the community; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate also wish to congratulate Ms. Cheryl R. Martin on the occasion of her birthday on June 3. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:
