Glen Landing Student Heading to D.C. for National Spelling Bee
For the second year in a row, a Glen Landing Middle School student will represent Camden County in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
In 2011, it was Preet Raval who had the honor of traveling to Washington D.C. to represent both Glen Landing Middle School and Camden County in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
It will again be a Glen Landing student representing the county in this year's national spelling bee.
Glen Landing eighth-grader Bisma Nasir, who finished second to Raval in the county bee last year, won the 2012 county bee held at H.B. Wilson Elementary School, in Camden, on Wednesday.
