NHP Resident Wins 2015 Kellenberg Memorial High School Spelling Bee

On Tuesday, October 20, the Brother Joseph C. Fox Latin School had its annual Spelling Bee in the Kellenberg Memorial High School auditorium. Thirty contestants from grades six, seven, and eight battled through fourteen rounds of challenging words such as belligerent, irreverent, propellant, and scorpion. The students continued with endless energy until it came down to the last two winning words – “rhinoceros” and “cellophane”. The winner of the Spelling Bee was eighth grader Victor Louie of New Hyde Park and the runner-up was Marylynn Scuderi. Victor Louie will continue his spelling achievements and represent Kellenberg Memorial in the local county spelling competition at Hofstra University in February 2016.

Congratulations to Victor and all the students who participated in the Spelling Bee!
