Evan, Nick and Zoriana are now eligible to compete in the District Spelling Bee, sponsored by the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs, on Saturday, February 21, in Kearny.
The Verona Juniors would like to thank all of the children who participated in the Bee and the three judges, Mayor Robert Manley, Forest Avenue Elementary School Principal Jeffrey Monacelli and Elizabeth Giblin, president of the Verona Library Board of Trustees.

The Juniors address Verona’s diverse needs by promoting education, preserving natural resources, encouraging healthy lifestyles, working on behalf of the elderly and people with disabilities, supporting participation in the arts and advocating for issues of concern to women, children and families.
