HOUSE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, When we think of the world being a better place, we think of how it begins with young children; and

WHEREAS, Children need a safe and loving environment to grow, learn, excel, and be happy; they have dreams and wishes, and society must do what's best to help their dreams come true; and

WHEREAS, Children are brilliant and ingenious in their own way; society should have an established date to recognize the achievements and value of its children; and

WHEREAS, El Dia de los Ninos (Children's Day) is celebrated to recognize and acknowledge every child; and

WHEREAS, By celebrating Children's Day on April 30, we are making a commitment to our children that we will continue to listen, teach, and nurture them; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we designate the date of April 30, 2009 as El Dia de los Ninos (Children's Day) in the State of Illinois in order to commemorate the lives of our children and our future.
