Congratulations to Spelling Bee Winners hosted by the Verona Juniors

On Saturday, January 11h, approximately fifty 4th and 5th graders participated in the annual Spelling Bee competition held at H.B. Whitehorne Middle School.  The Junior Woman’s Club of Verona would like to thank all the children who participated and congratulate our winners.  Congratulations to Christian Castner, 3rd place (HBW), Veronica Domyslawski, 2nd place (OLL), and Karina Squilanti, 1st place (HBW).

Thank you to our judges Mayor Robert Manley, Principal Jeffrey Monacelli and Principal Julie DiGiacomo who kindly volunteered their time for the morning.  Thank you to Larisa Zulic and Denise Verzella from the Verona Juniors who organized the event.  Finally, thank you to Verona Juniors President, Kristen Donohue, who announced the words.
