Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, February 04, 2025
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, February 4th, the 104th day of school, and National Homemade Soup Day. Who doesn't love a nice bowl of homemade soup?
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1789, George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, was unanimously elected the first president of the United States by all 69 presidential electors who cast their votes. John Adams of Massachusetts, who received 34 votes, was elected vice president.
WEATHER Today's weather will definitely remind you we're still in February. The high will be in the thirties, the skies will be partly sunny, the wind will be blowing, and apparently, there's an Ice Apocolypse coming our way.
WHAT'S COOKING? We have delicious Crispitos, a wonderful chicken patty crammed full of chickeny delight, or a classic PB&J for lunch. We also have fresh fruits and veggies to satiate your appetite and cartons of refreshing ice-cold milk to quench your thirst.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is deja vu a noun that means the experience of thinking that a new situation had occurred before. The term comes from French and translates to "already seen". There are a lot of strange feelings, but one of the weirdest is déjà vu: seeing or hearing something you know is new to you but seems oddly familiar. When you feel like you've seen or done something before, it can feel like you're dreaming, or like your life is a movie.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Mark Twain, one of America's greatest writers, once said, "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." Make it your goal today to make at least one other person feel great today. Choose to make this a remarkable Tuesday.
A quick shout-out to our girls' basketball team. Coach Burns, Coach Davis, and the girls won their first game of the season, on Senior Night! It proves that working hard and persevering helps you reach your goals. Don't ever give up. Go Tigers! Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
