A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE JO LYNN ALLEN FOR HER MANY YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE AS AN EDUCATOR IN SOUTH CAROLINA UPON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT AND TO WISH HER THE BEST IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the Senate have learned that Jo Lynn Allen will be retiring at the end of this school year after forty-six years in the classroom at James E. Byrnes High School in Spartanburg School District Five; and

Whereas, her passion for English literature and her vitality both in and out of the classroom are defining characteristics that have made her one of Byrnes' most beloved teachers; and

Whereas, Ms. Allen began her teaching career in 1965 and was the first James E. Byrnes High School graduate to be hired to teach at her alma mater; and

Whereas, Ms. Allen has spent her entire career in the school and community where she was born and raised; and

Whereas, Ms. Allen's decision to retire from teaching will make her miss the excitement of interacting with young people everyday yet leave her more time to travel; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the Senate to pause in their deliberations to recognize the many accomplishments of this daughter of South Carolina upon her retirement after a distinguished career as a public school educator. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, recognize Jo Lynn Allen for her many years of faithful service as an educator in South Carolina upon the occasion of her retirement and to wish her the best in all her future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Jo Lynn Allen.
