Fitchburg student competes in National Spelling Bee finals
FITCHBURG, Wis. — A local fifth grader made it to the National Spelling Bee finals.
Maya Jadhav is 10 years old.
She attends EAGLE School in Fitchburg.
Maya is passionate about reducing waste and cleaning up garbage, according to a brief bio on the National Spelling Bee website. She was elected as a student council member in her school on a platform of reducing waste.
One of #Speller484 Maya Jean Jadhav’s claims to fame? She’s been to every continent but Antarctica. While she has a love for travel, her heart belongs to giving back. She helps encourage recycling at school and tends a community garden that provides for a food pantry.#spellingbee
