Students at Marshall Hill competed in classroom spelling bees. As a result, six students from each grade were selected to participate in a school-wide spelling bee held on January 27. The winner, Dylan Herbaugh, and alternate, Melodi Reich, received trophies, and will participate in the North Jersey Semi-Spelling Bees, sponsored by The Record and Herald News. These will be held at 6 p.m. on March 6, 7, 8, and 9 at the Shea Center for Performing Arts at William Paterson University in Wayne. The winner will receive a week-long, expense paid trip to Washington, DC, as the North Jersey entry in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
