SR 667: Baskett, McKenna Kiersten; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia Senate. It does not change any law; instead it formally recognizes McKenna Kiersten Baskett, a student in the Cherokee County School District, for winning the title of Royal International Miss Pre-Teen 2025-2026 at a pageant in Orlando, Florida, where she also won several optional competitions. The resolution details her volunteer service exceeding 100 hours, including work with a homeless veterans thrift store and a domestic violence shelter, and her founding of Just Look Around, a youth initiative promoting science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) education. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
