Olivia Rhee, an 8th Grader from Lewis F. Cole Middle School in Fort Lee, secured victory among 65 talented students from across Bergen County, spelling her way to success with the winning word being ‘natatorium.’

We are immensely proud of Olivia's achievement and were thrilled to see the County Executive and Commissioners extend their congratulations, capturing a memorable photo with the prestigious trophy, now engraved with Olivia's name.
