Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, March 10, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, March 10th, it's the 126th day of school, and National Napping Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1876, the first discernible speech was transmitted over a telephone system when inventor Alexander Graham Bell summoned his assistant in another room by saying, "Mr. Watson, come here; I want you." Bell had received a comprehensive telephone patent just three days before.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will enjoy a bowl of mouth-watering chili, a scrumptious ham and cheese wrap, or a classic PB&J. We have fresh fruits, veggies, and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to round out your amazing lunch.
WEATHER The weather today will be warm and most likely wet. The high will be in the upper seventies, and there is a chance for some thunderstorms and perhaps a bit of hail this afternoon.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The vocabulary word of the day is crestfallen (crest·fal·len), an adjective that describes someone sad and disappointed. If you are crestfallen, you are dark, depressed, and down in the dumps. You need a pep talk, or at least a hug. Although experts can't agree on the origins of crestfallen, they do know it has something to do with fallen or defeated animals. Some say it has to do with horses bowing their heads (touching their heads to the crest of their chests) when bested in battle.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, once said, "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be." Don't forget that you're in control of your happiness or misery; it's a choice. You want to be happy? Then be happy already and quit whining about what others have done. Choose to make this a wonderful Tuesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
