Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under Special Privilege
Senator Roth, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of the Legislative Technology Services Bureau. Today’s virtual session simply would not have been possible without their tireless dedication in creating the technological means to allow this body to meet in this way. Thank you for your dedicated service to the State Senate.
Senator Miller, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourns in honor of recognition of the accomplishments of Maya Jadhav of Fitchburg, winner of the 2020 Badger State Spelling Bee. For the second year in a row, Maya Jadhav, a sixth-grade student at Eagle School in Fitchburg, placed first out of nearly 50 students in the Badger State Spelling Bee on March 7, 2020 at Madison Area Technical College, following her third-place finish in 2018 and her first-place finish last year. By winning the state competition, Maya earned the honor to represent the state of Wisconsin in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, where in 2019 she advanced to the last round of the competition and finished tied for 41st in the country. This accomplishment displays tremendous determination and passion for learning and spelling, which will serve Maya well in her education and for the rest of her life. The Wisconsin State Legislature takes great pride in the dedicated young people of our communities who show commitment to learning. Please join Senator Miller in commending Maya Jadhav on winning the 2020 Badger State Spelling Bee, wish Maya continued success in all of her academic and personal endeavors.
