TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND M. SUE FRAZIER OF RICHLAND COUNTY FOR HER OUTSTANDING PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives honor individuals who freely give of their time and resources for the good of others; and
Whereas, M. Sue Frazier, retired educator and mentor, has contributed valuable public and community service to the citizens of the Palmetto State and is thereby worthy of praise; and
Whereas, born in Carnesville, Georgia, Mrs. Frazier, in preparation for a long and fruitful teaching career, earned her bachelor's degree in elementary education at Allen University. Further studies followed at Columbia College, the University of South Carolina, and South Carolina State University; and
Whereas, after graduation, she worked at Carver Elementary School in Richland School District One. During the period of integration, she became the first African-American first grade teacher at Hyatt Park Elementary School; and
Whereas, her outstanding work as a teacher has not gone unappreciated. She was named Hyatt Park's Teacher of the Year on two occasions, and the respect in which she is held earned her the post of Unit Leader of Grade 1 for more than twenty years. In addition, Mrs. Frazier appeared on NBC-TV's Newswatch as a spokesperson for teachers with former State Superintendent of Education Dr. Barbara Nielsen; and
Whereas, a mentor of youth for more than forty years, Mrs. Frazier also has been honored as Bojangle's Teacher of the Month, nominated by the Columbia Area Reading Council as an Outstanding Reading Teacher in Richland One, and nominated twice for Who's Who Among America's Teachers; and
Whereas, Mrs. Frazier, a mother of four and grandmother of four, has made time to organize seniors for monthly movie viewings, acted as president of the Allen University Greater Columbia Alumni Association, served her community association, and worked with the Older Adult Ministry at Francis Burns United Methodist Church, where she worships. She is also an honored member of her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, which bestowed on her its 2007 South Atlantic Regional Director's Centennial Legends Award; and
Whereas, although now retired after thirty-five years of teaching, M. Sue Frazier continues to tutor and otherwise serve her church and community. In recognition of her many years of service, this veteran educator will be honored at the Spring Valley Country Club on March 12, 2011; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives recognize that the success of the State of South Carolina, the strength of its communities, and the vitality of American society as a whole depend, in great measure, upon the dedication of individuals like M. Sue Frazier, who use their talents and resources to serve others. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend M. Sue Frazier of Richland County for her outstanding public and community service to the people of South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to M. Sue Frazier.
