A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE MARY WOODS OF TAYLORS UPON RECEIVING THE NATIONAL DISTINGUISHED PRINCIPAL AWARD.

Whereas, Mary Woods of Taylors is the principal of Taylors Elementary School; and

Whereas, she was chosen for the National Distinguished Principal Award; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Association of Elementary and Middle School Principals selected Mrs. Woods as a way of giving credit to the leadership that makes a school stand out and to even qualify, a principal must be in charge of a school that has won the Palmetto's Finest Award, which recognizes the best schools in the State each year; and

Whereas, each state and territory chooses a winner and all winners are recognized at a national ceremony by the National Association of Elementary School Principals; and

Whereas, the teachers and parents have to nominate the principal for the award which makes the award extra special; and

Whereas, Mrs. Woods has been in the teaching profession starting in Greenville County as a teacher twenty-two years ago and taught in Spartanburg County and in New York before that; and

Whereas, Mrs. Woods has demonstrated her leadership abilities and has the support of her staff and community. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly congratulate Mary Woods of Taylors upon receiving the National Distinguished Principal Award.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Woods.
