Capuano School Spelling Bee

Every year, the Capuano School PTA organizes a spelling bee to raise money for the school. It's a night of spelling, fun, drama, and raising money for a good cause. This year's bee, at the Holiday Inn on Washington St., was a big success and brought in over $3000 for the PTA. The Mayor, members of the board of Aldermen, the legislative delegation, and the Somerville News were on hand or sponsoring some of the 17 teams.

Our delegation-sponsored team was eliminated on the word "slumgullion", which is apparently a watery meat stew. Who knew?

Alderman-at-Large Dennis Sullivan's winning team generously donated the prize purse (a $500 donation from the ERA Group)
back to the PTA.
