Whereas, thanks to the hard work of students, parents, faculty, staff, and administration, Bethune-Bowman Middle School has captured a Palmetto Silver Award, with its accompanying cash award of seven thousand four hundred eleven dollars, and has demonstrated what can be accomplished when all stakeholders have high expectations and strive to help students reach the full measure of their talents and skills; and

Whereas, fully expecting continued academic excellence from this standout school, the Senate is proud to recognize the fine educational achievement of 2007 Palmetto Silver Award winner Bethune-Bowman Middle School. Now, therefore,
