LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 262
Introduced by Erdman, 47.
WHEREAS, Aspen Graves is a graduating senior at Chadron High School in
Chadron, Nebraska; and WHEREAS, art has been important to Aspen since she was young and she has taken art classes at Tada Art Studio and studied art under her high school art teacher, Travis Hencey; and WHEREAS, Aspen entered into a competition during her senior year of high school to design a new logo for Google centered around the theme of "I am grateful for…"; and WHEREAS, Aspen was inspired by the memory of her late grandfather, Neil Patterson, and submitted an original logo image named, "tranquility"; and WHEREAS, Aspen's submission included her statements, "I am grateful for the feeling of a crisp breeze dancing in the air, fluttering cottonwood leaves,
and the fresh scent of a rippling stream as I indulge in a novel. When gazing upon the luminous water, I envision my grandfather's hands carving cottonwood logs to shape a spinning wheel. His spinning wheel exists in tandem with the tranquil world – an ecosystem cycling around me."; and WHEREAS, Aspen won the 2023 Nebraska "Doodle for Google" competition and she will represent the State of Nebraska in the national "Doodle for Google"
competition, where the winner stands to receive thirty thousand dollars in
college scholarship money and the winner's school stands to receive fifty thousand dollars to be used for technology.
