Teaching Assistants; and

classrooms, and serve as the eyes and the ears to ensure students are on
track; and

relationships with students and help create exceptional students and
school environments; and

their schools for the benefit of faculty and students, as well as for
the entire community; and

WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to recognize the
educators of New York State who work to open the minds of their students
to new ideas, knowledge and dreams; who keep American democracy alive by
laying the foundation for good citizenship; who fill many roles such as
listeners, explorers, role models, motivators and mentors; and who
continue to influence their students long after the school days are only
memories; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
