Bill > HR841

This resolution congratulates the Southwest Independent School District Penguin Project on receiving a 2025 Magna Silver Award from the National School Boards Association, recognizing an innovative musical theater program that pairs neurodiverse learners with peer mentors. The Penguin Project, now in its third year, creates inclusive opportunities for students with exceptionalities by allowing them to participate in theatrical productions alongside mentors who help them develop skills and confidence. The program involves parents, families, and teachers in all aspects of production and has achieved a nearly 100 percent student retention rate. By highlighting the project's success in building confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging for young Texans, the resolution officially acknowledges the program's achievements and extends best wishes to all involved. The resolution also mandates the preparation of an official copy of the document to be presented to the Penguin Project as a formal expression of respect from the Texas House of Representatives.
