VIDEO: Spelling Bee champ gives back at former middle school
In early December, Folsom Middle School students took part in their annual spelling bee and were joined by a very special guest: former FMS student Sneha Ganesh Kumar.
Sneha, who played the role of pronouncer for the spelling bee, was a three-time spelling bee champion while she was a student at Folsom Middle, and made national headlines when she advanced to the Scripp's National Bee twice. She placed second and fourth in the national contests.
"I would have felt good if there had been somebody who had did good at the Bee to help me," said Sneha, currently a sophomore at Vista del Lago.
Folsom Middle sixth grader Aryan Rajeesh won the school's competition and described Sneha's presence as, "inspiring".
Aryan will compete in the county spelling bee in March.
