Catskill Elementary School recently held its annual Spelling Bee with students participating from grades four and five. 5th grader Billy McMullen correctly spelled “exasperation” in the final round to edge out runner up and fellow 5th grader John Breusch. We are pleased to announce that, as the winner, Billy will be representing Catskill Elementary School at the 2018 Capital Region Spelling Bee on February 13 at Proctor’s Theatre in Schenectady. Congratulations to our CES champion!
