New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC (NJSFWC) Hosts Spelling Bee

The NJSFWC sponsors an annual spelling bee program, with women’s clubs throughout the state hosting local events. In the Highland district, clubs located in the Denville – Rockaway area, Jefferson Township, Long Valley, Parsippany-Troy Hills, Somerset Hills, Sparta, and the West Morris area sent their winners to a district spelling bee held in Rockaway on February 8, 2020.

Congratulations to the NJSFWC Highlands District spelling bee winners: first-place winner Krishil Patel, second place winner, Medha Vavilala, and third place winner, Sienna Shieh

These three District winners will participate in the State Federation’s Annual State Spelling Bee, to be held Saturday, March 7th at NJSFWC Headquarters, located on the Douglass campus in New Brunswick. Good luck to all!

It takes a lot of work and volunteer hours to host a successful spelling bee. Thanks to, Denville's Library Director, Siobhan Koch, NJSFWC Highlands District Vice President, Judy Filippini, and Marilyn Marion, Parsippany Woman’s Club and District Membership Chair, who acted as judges, and members of the four women's clubs (Denville-Rockaway, Parsippany Troy-Hills, Vernon and West Morris Junior Woman’s Club) who helped organize and support the district spelling bee.
