TO RECOGNIZE THE WEEK OF APRIL 22-26, 2019, AS "PUBLIC SCHOOL VOLUNTEER WEEK" IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, parent and community involvement is a significant factor in the success of schools; and

Whereas, during the past decade, school systems throughout the country have accepted the services of dedicated volunteers to assist professional educators, and these volunteers have offered their time, encouragement, and meaningful contact with students; and

Whereas, by becoming volunteers, parents and community members are providing an invaluable contribution to the education of our students; and

Whereas, volunteers are called upon to assist teachers and staff with the day-to-day activities involved in providing a balanced education for our students and are an important part of a team that strives to ensure that each and every one of our students succeeds; and

Whereas, during the school year, volunteers spend countless hours serving schools throughout the Palmetto State as chaperones, mentors, after-school tutors, club leaders, booster club members, PTA and PTO members, guest speakers, classroom helpers, athletics coaches, and more. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize the week of April 22-26, 2019, as "Public School Volunteer Week" in the State of South Carolina.
