        WHEREAS, it is fitting that the members of this General Assembly should salute those young citizens who, through their extraordinary efforts, have distinguished themselves as
emerging community leaders of whom we can all be proud; and WHEREAS, Emma Lane Babcock is one such outstanding young Tennessean who has positively contributed to her school community through her innovative initiative A Note to My PrinciPal; and WHEREAS, a remarkable third-grade student at St. Joseph School in Nashville, Emma Lane Babcock is the creative mind behind A Note to My PrinciPal, a thoughtful endeavor that provides young students with a healthy, positive, and confidential way to express themselves in
writing to their principal; and WHEREAS, A Note to My PrinciPal encourages young students to communicate with their principal through written notes, fostering a sense of connection and understanding; and WHEREAS, Emma Lane Babcock's goal is to ensure that every elementary school in
Tennessee has a mailbox dedicated to receiving these special notes, and her first mailbox was placed in W.E. Burrus Elementary School; and WHEREAS, Miss Babcock epitomizes the spirit and commitment that are characteristic of a true Tennessean; and WHEREAS, we find it appropriate to acknowledge and applaud one of this State's finest young people for her dedication to her fellow students and the citizens of this State; now,
therefore,
