	WHEREAS, The varsity chorale ensemble of Timberview High
	School in the Mansfield Independent School District has been
	invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York on March 17, 2024;
	and
	WHEREAS, This prestigious honor is awarded to only a few

	WHEREAS, Through their talent, hard work, and commitment to
	excellence, the young singers of the Timberview High School varsity
	chorale have earned their way to an event of enormous prestige, and
	their achievement is a great credit to Mansfield ISD and a source of
	pride to their families, friends, and fellow students; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
