Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, November 02, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Monday, November 1st, the 46th-ish day of school, and National Deviled Egg Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 2016, the Chicago Cubs won their first World Series Championship since 1908. The Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in Game 7.
WEATHER The weather today has the potential to be a bit moist. The high will be around the upper sixties, and the skies will be partly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is varmint (var-mint), which is a noun that means any usually predatory wild animal considered undesirable or an irritating or obnoxious person. Varmint is an informal word that means "wild animal" or "critter." A pesky animal is most likely to be referred to this way, like a raccoon that keeps knocking your trash cans over. You can also call a human a varmint, especially if it's someone who's driving you crazy. Varmint, since the 1500's, has been an American slang version of vermin.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today for lunch, we will be gnawing on fish sticks oozing with fishy goodness, chicken sticks crammed full of the choicest chicken parts, or a PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to consume and cartons of ice-cold milk to wash everything down with.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Don't blame the clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep visiting the circus." You cannot expect someone who shows a pattern of chaos, cruelty, or drama to suddenly become kind and respectful. They are simply playing their role. Maybe you need to ask yourself why you're inviting drama, rudeness, and chaos into your life? For what it's worth, I think you deserve better than that. Choose to make this a remarkable Monday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
