A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CELEBRATE THE PELION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ARCHERY TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A SUPERB SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON WINNING THE 2024 NATIONAL ARCHERY IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAM (NASP) IBO/3D NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DIVISION.

Summary

H3687 is a House resolution honoring the Pelion Elementary School archery team, its coaches, and school officials for an outstanding 2024 season. The resolution specifically congratulates the team for winning the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) IBO/3D National Championship in the elementary school division, held in Daytona Beach, Florida, and notes additional achievements including individual awards for student archer Laycee Morphy and a third-place finish by the school’s bullseye team. The resolution also recognizes the team’s earlier success at the NASP Eastern National IBO/3D Challenge in Louisville, where Pelion Elementary won the event and set a school record. It closes by directing that a copy of the resolution be presented to Principal Francina Gerald and Head Coach Nicole Shumpert as a formal expression of the House’s appreciation.

Impact

This resolution does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial only: it formally records legislative recognition of Pelion Elementary School’s archery accomplishments and commends the students, coaches, and school officials. The only practical consequence is the presentation of the resolution to the named school leaders.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and celebratory. The resolution itself is written in congratulatory language, and there is no indication of opposition, controversy, or divided views in the available context. It reflects the House’s desire to publicly commend a successful school team and highlight student achievement.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the bill text, and no committee discussion or vote history is provided that would suggest disagreement. Because the measure is a simple honorary resolution, it appears to have been noncontroversial and limited to recognizing the accomplishments of Pelion Elementary’s archery program and its coaches.
