A Resolution congratulating and commending Mark Tevault
and Leawood Middle School.
WHEREAS, On the evening of March 11, 1999, Leawood Middle
School students presented their 11th annual Greek and Roman Festival;
and
WHEREAS, The Greek and Roman Festival originated under the aus-
pices of Mark Tevault, a teacher at Leawood Middle School; and
WHEREAS, While the Greek and Roman Festival started as a teacher
led program, it has become a student driven program. It is an interdis-
ciplinary event with all students and teachers participating. Mathematics,
science, language and social studies are integrated into the program. Plays
and activities involving geometry, Greek myths, ancient civilizations, ar-
chitecture and science are written and acted by the students. Students
write the script for the programs, choreograph the events and even have
their own restaurant with ``authentic'' food. The event takes several weeks
of preparation time with students working outside of school hours as well
as during school time; and
WHEREAS, The gold team teaching unit sponsored the Festival this
year which included Danna Pease, Ruth Rutheford, Julie Burik, Vicki
Hursh, Bridget McNabb, Kippy King, Mark Tevault, Jennifer Miller and
Amy Miller with Mark Tevault as the program coordinator: Now, there-
fore,
Be it resolved by the Senate of the state of Kansas: That we congrat-
ulate and commend Mark Tevault for establishing the annual Greek and
Roman Festival at Leawood Middle School, the teachers and staff for
providing guidance and support, and the students for their enthusiastic
involvement in this annual event; and

to provide two enrolled copies of this resolution to Senator John Vratil
