Whereas, in formal recognition of the award-winning schools, the South Carolina Department of Education sends a certificate and a "Palmetto Award Winner" flag for posting in front of the school; and

Whereas, fully expecting continued academic excellence from this standout school, the South Carolina House of Representatives is proud to applaud the fine educational achievement of 2014-2015 Palmetto Gold and Palmetto Silver winner Wallace Elementary Middle School. Now, therefore,
