Recognizing Charles and Maddie Finkenbinder

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize eight- year-old Maddie Finkenbinder and her father, Charles, who are working hard to provide reusable water bottles to students across Conway, AR elementary schools.

When water fountains were disabled to stop the spread of the coronavirus in schools, Maddie went straight to her jewelry box to collect all her allowance and gave it to her father to purchase water bottles for her classmates.

Since then, their work has grown, providing water bottles to five elementary schools in Conway, and the educators and administrators of Conway Public Schools are thankful. Charles and Maddie show the true heart of CPSD and the Conway community.

I'd like to thank the Finkenbinders for their honorable work and encourage them to keep looking out for their neighbor.
