Attention all Euclid spelling fanatics! Did you know that PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS is a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust? This is the longest word in any English dictionary? However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word".  If you love spelling, want to become a better speller or are looking for a place to study for the school spelling bee, spelling club is for you!  Join us for our first meeting Wednesday, October 2 from 2:45-4:15 in Mrs. Fast's room 82.  We will meet most Wednesdays after school until the bee on December 3.  Hope to see you there!
