In its 26th year, the Marietta Tiberti Memorial Catholic Schools Spelling Bee includes eight competitors— two each from grades five through eight—from each Catholic elementary school in the Valley. The Tiberti family, longtime Bishop Gorman Community members and supporters, graciously fund the scholarship for each year’s winning speller. The winner of the spelling bee was determined when Nelisha spelled correctly the words “abnegate” and “edifices”. She wins a year’s scholarship to Bishop Gorman High School.
