With a major focus on St. Philip Neri’s motto of Servium or ‘to serve,’ the school worked hard to bring together these values with their spelling bowl through a toy drive that will bring toys and joy to many children in the Bronx area through the 4Bronx Project.

Another highlight of the event each year is the addition of their guest judges.

This year, former New York Giants Running Back and Two-Time Super Bowl Champion, Ahmad Bradshaw, came out to support the Spelling Bowl.
