Marlboro Elementary School and Marlboro Middle School proudly held their annual Spelling Bees on January 14, bringing together students who demonstrated strong vocabulary skills, focus, and confidence under pressure. Each contestant gave an impressive performance, making the competitions both exciting and inspiring to watch.
After several challenging rounds, top honors were awarded to Valerie Espinal from Marlboro Elementary School, who secured her victory by correctly spelling the word “galore,” and Yoonis Saleh from Marlboro Middle School, who clinched first place with the word “puissance.”
Second-place honors were earned by Bridget Smith from Marlboro Middle School and Elnathan Boadu from Marlboro Elementary School.
Valerie and Yoonis will now advance to represent Marlboro in the virtual Scripps Regional Spelling Bee this March. The entire school community wishes them the best of luck as they continue their spelling journeys.
The District extends a sincere thank-you to all participating students, as well as the staff members, organizers, and judges who helped make this annual event a success. Congratulations to everyone involved!
