“I would like to take this time to recognize one of my constituents, Armand Kuykendall, who was named Putnam County's 50th Annual Spelling Bee winner on January 18, 2019. Armand is currently in the fifth grade at the Middleton-Burney Elementary School, where he is a straight-A student. During his young life, he has faced many obstacles. Armand has excelled at school with the support of his teachers and family. In order to compete in Putnam County's spelling bee, Armand spent his free time studying and memorizing over 450 words. His winning word was ``apricot.'' His family, friends--as I am--are extremely proud of Armand for competing and winning the spelling bee. I would like to congratulate him for his outstanding accomplishment. Armand now moves on to participate in the First Coast Spelling Bee at Jacksonville University on February 19, 2019. Best of L-U-C-K, Armand. ____________________”
