Senate Resolution 128, sponsored by Walley, honors Kenlee McDonald for her outstanding achievement in winning second place at the 2025 National Civics Bee Lawrence County Finals. The competition, held on March 14, 2025, at the Southern Tennessee Higher Education Center, involved over 220 essay submissions from middle school students addressing community issues. Kenlee, a student at E.O. Coffman Middle School, was among the twenty finalists who showcased their civics knowledge in a live quiz event, demonstrating her commitment to academic excellence and civic engagement.

The resolution acknowledges Kenlee's accomplishment as a source of pride for her family, school, and community, and it recognizes her potential for future success as she advances to the Tennessee State Finals in June. The Senate expresses its admiration for her dedication and wishes her continued success and happiness. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, omitting the final clause.
