“Needham High Hopes” Wins the 13th Annual NEF Spelling Bee Fundraising Event

Lindsey Kiser, Louise Schneider and Gabe Nardie (pictured above with co-host Gary Gillis) won for the second straight year.

After dueling the Needham Democratic Committee for an impressive 22 rounds, Needham High Hopes finally prevailed on the word “DROMOMANIA,” which means “an uncontrollable impulse to wander or travel.”
