HOUSE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of Representatives wish to recognize St. Francis grade school in Quincy for performing the play "We the People" on April 23, 2004; and

WHEREAS, This year, St. Francis had the distinct honor of being the only grade school in the nation to be approved to perform this play; the play is an American themed production that begins with the Preamble to the Constitution and concludes with the events of September 11, 2001; and

WHEREAS, The "American" theme of the play has inspired the children of St. Francis to help our troops in Iraq; the school will be sending care packages to the local men and women who are serving in Iraq; each care package will include a videotape of the play as well as items that they enjoy and need; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we recognize the students and faculty of St. Francis grade school for their patriotism and support of our troops in Iraq; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to St. Francis grade school as an expression of our respect.
