Senator embroiled in scandal amid political turmoil

The Clear Creek Amana Community School District held a meeting on March 28, 2025, to discuss the upcoming CCA Spelling Bee for students in grades 6 to 8. The event aims to enhance students' spelling skills and promote a love for language among participants.

During the meeting, several words were highlighted as part of the spelling bee practice. Students were given words such as "altar," "surcharge," "guava," "embroiled," "goatee," and "pesos." Each word was accompanied by a sentence to provide context, helping students understand their meanings and usage. For instance, "altar" was used in the context of a wedding ceremony, while "surcharge" was illustrated through a humorous example involving extra cheese on pizza.

The meeting also emphasized the importance of homonyms, as seen with the word "goatee," which was confused with "goat." This aspect of the spelling bee encourages students to pay attention to pronunciation and spelling nuances.

Overall, the meeting served as a preparatory session for the students, ensuring they are well-equipped for the challenges of the spelling bee. The event is expected to foster not only competition but also camaraderie among students as they engage in this educational experience. Further details about the event's date and format will be shared with the community as the date approaches.
