we must build upon them; and

child deserves access to high-quality and equitable education. Education is
critical to our efforts to create opportunity and improve life outcomes, and we
must continue to empower children and provide the resources that they need;
and
WHEREAS,as we work together, across different organizations and sectors, through
partnership and collaboration, we can carry the Rebbe’s legacy forward by
continually opening up doors for children and young people in Salt Lake City, in
Utah, and beyond, that they may step into a brighter future for themselves, and
for us all.
