Geisler eighth grader Setya Asadian is only other district middle schooler in field. The four others students competing are all in fifth grade: Mya Deddeh (Meadowbrook), Yukino Miura (Oakley Park), Prahlad Narasimhan (Mary Helen Guest), and Daniel Onyejekwulum (Hickory Woods).
The Oakland Schools Regional Spelling Bee winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. in May. This year Scripps is also celebrating its 100th anniversary of the National Spelling Bee.
