29th Annual Spelling Bee

On Saturday, January 18, 2025 the West Morris Junior Women’s Club (WMJWC) held their 29th Annual Spelling Bee. Over 50 local fourth and fifth grade students from Mendham and Chester schools participated in the Bee held at West Morris Mendham High School. After 17 rounds of spelling, the top three winners emerged:

​

1st Place: Joseph S., 5th Grade
2nd Place: Santiago A., 5th Grade
3rd Place: Wyatt B., 4th Grade


​

These winners will advance to represent West Morris at the Highlands Regional District Spelling Bee of the New Jersey Federation of Women’s Clubs in Rockaway, NJ in February.
