HOUSE RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, A day at work will help children discover the link

5 vital services that their parents provide each day; and
 
6     WHEREAS, It is the intent that this event will inspire
7 children to open their eyes to new possibilities, and encourage
8 future careers in science, business, technology, government,
9 etc.; and
 
10     WHEREAS, A day in the lives of their parents will reinforce
11 children's ambitions and help them understand the relationship
12 between academic achievements and success in the workplace; and
 
13     WHEREAS, Complaining that too many children are missing
14 school to shadow mom or dad at the workplace each April, the
15 Illinois Principals' Association and their teachers suggest
16 that the annual "Take Your Kid To Work Day" should be moved to
17 June or be held during school vacations; and
 
18     WHEREAS, Teachers often put lessons on hold because of the
19 annual event, which every year pairs an estimated 11 million
20 children with adults in the workplace; therefore, be it

23 encourage Illinois businesses to adopt the "Take Your Kid To
24 Work Day" as an opportunity for kids to understand the

26 workplace; and be it further
 
27     RESOLVED, That the State of Illinois encourages this "Take
