Congratulations goes out to Rishan Rashed from Miss Hunt’s 5th grade Gifted and Talented class as the winner of the 12th Annual Miller School Spelling Bee!  The Bee started with 78 participants, and after nine rounds, Vincent Hoang and Rishan Rashed battled it out for the championship.  After spelling NICHE in the 10th round, Rishan successfully spelled HIBISCUS to win the Bee.  He will now compete in the South Jersey Regional Spelling Bee on Saturday, March 16th, at the Petway Elementary School in Vineland.   The winner of the regional bee will then compete in Washington, D.C. at the Scripp’s National Spelling Bee!
 
Congratulations to all who participated!
