Congratulations and Good Luck to Paul and Zarin!

We will have two homeschool spellers representing us in this year's Capital District Regional Spelling on February 7. The winner of our 2010-2011 homeschool bee, Paul Capuano, placed among the top five contestants at last year's Capital District bee, so he automatically returns to the Capital District bee without needing to participate in our homeschool preliminary bee this year. The winner of our 2011-2012 homeschool bee, Zarin Tuten, will join Paul onstage at Proctors Theater, along with about 100 other students from public and private schools in the greater Capital District. The February 7 bee at Proctor's Theater is free and open to the public, with free parking available in the Proctor's parking lots. The bee begins at 5 p.m. and can easily run until 9 p.m. It will also be televised on local cable.
