I welcomed Alia Abiad and Pranav Sivakumar to Chicago to congratulate them for their achievements in the National Spelling Bee. Alia and Pranav traveled to the National Spelling Bee as representatives of our state and we can truly say that they’ve made Illinois proud. Alia, an eighth grader at McClure Junior High School in Western Springs, recently returned from this year’s Bee in Washington, D.C. where she placed fifth. Pranav, of Grayslake, placed second in last year’s Bee which was his third consecutive appearance there. These young students show how important hard work and a good education are for achieving success. I applaud them both and all of the other talented students from across our nation for their efforts in our nation’s spelling bee.
