AHOUSE RESOLUTION

TO APPLAUD AND HONOR MALLORIE BROWN OF AYNOR FOR HER EFFORTS TOWARD INCLUSIVITY AND TO WISH HER THE GREATEST SUCCESS IN HER NOBLE ENDEAVOR.

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives of South Carolina deem it altogether fitting and appropriate to recognize Mallorie Brown of Aynor who has decided to dedicate her time to ensuring everyone in her high school, and eventually at every high school in the Palmetto State, feels accepted; and

Whereas, Mallorie Brown, an Aynor High School sophomore, hopes to help other students at her school, and at schools around the State, feel a little less alone. As student council president, a cheerleader, and a member of the Beta and Key clubs, Mallorie is very involved in her school. Now, she has found a way to help even more; and

Whereas, she recently was named the school’s representative for the Be Strong program, a national antibullying organization, andshe leads the We Dine Together (WDT) club, a studentled movement that works to make sure no one eats their lunch alone. The movement seeks to “create inclusive environments through the belief that lasting relationships are built over the table”; and

Whereas, as well as overseeing WDT at her school, Mallorie also will serve as the person who oversees all future chapters of We Dine Together in the State andshe will be in charge of publicity. Students seeking to help others feel included and comfortable during lunch may contact her to join the club; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives offer an ovation to Mallorie for recognizing a problem and seeking to remedy the situation. She proves, as a high school sophomore, that you are never too young to make a difference. The members look forward to hearing of the great things Mallorie will accomplish throughout her life. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, applaud and honor Mallorie Brown of Aynor for her efforts towards inclusivity and wish her the greatest success in her noble endeavor.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mallorie Brown.
