The resolution congratulates Phoenix Newell, a seventh grader from the Riverside School in Lyndonville, for her remarkable achievement of winning two consecutive Vermont State Spelling Bees. It highlights the dedication and skill required for spelling, noting that Phoenix's journey began in sixth grade when she successfully represented her school in the 2024 competition, ultimately advancing to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC. Although she did not win at the national level, her experience motivated her to compete again.

In 2025, Phoenix's hard work and perseverance paid off as she claimed victory in the Vermont State Spelling Bee for the second time. The resolution acknowledges her determination and growth as a competitor, as she prepares to return to the national stage with greater experience. The General Assembly expresses its pride in her accomplishments and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Phoenix Newell.
