CELEBRATING SYDNEY TRAN AS SPELLING BEE CHAMPION

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025)] [House] [Page H1306] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING SYDNEY TRAN AS SPELLING BEE CHAMPION (Mrs. KIM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate Sydney Tran, a seventh grade student at El Rancho Charter School in Orange, for becoming Orange County's new spelling bee champion. Sydney earned her well-deserved victory and secured a spot at the Scripps National Spelling Bee by spelling the word ``obsecration'' in the 14th round of competition. In addition to her spelling skills, Sydney is also on the school robotics team and participates in community service projects, embodying the spirit of a well-rounded and engaged student. Her success serves as an inspiration to her peers and brings pride to our entire community. Sydney will soon head to Washington, D.C., to represent Orange County at the national spelling bee in May. Mr. Speaker, we wish Sydney good luck. We are cheering her on. ____________________
