Bill > HR734

This resolution commends Atlanta News First (WANF-TV) for its "Pledge of the Day" initiative, which encourages elementary school students across metro Atlanta to lead the Pledge of Allegiance on local television. Developed in 2024 by Representative Kim Schofield, the program aims to promote civic education, reinforce democratic values, and foster a sense of national pride and unity among young students. Under the leadership of Erik Schrader, the station's President and General Manager, the initiative provides a platform for children to publicly recite the Pledge of Allegiance on Atlanta News First and PeachtreeTV, serving as an inspiration for schools, communities, and media organizations to engage youth in civic activities at an early age. The resolution formally recognizes and commends WANF-TV, Erik Schrader, and Representative Kim Schofield for their dedication to civic education and patriotism, and directs the House Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to the named parties.
