Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Wednesday, March 25, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good Tuesday morning, Clark Elementary! Today is March 24th, it's the 130th day of school, and National Chocolate Covered Raisin (the dirty trick of the candy world) Day.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1989, one of the worst oil spills in U.S. history began when the supertanker Exxon Valdez, owned and operated by the Exxon Corporation, ran aground on a reef in Prince William Sound in southern Alaska. An estimated 11 million gallons of oil eventually spilled into the water. Attempts to contain the massive spill were unsuccessful, and wind and currents spread the oil more than 100 miles from its source, eventually polluting more than 700 miles of coastline. Hundreds of thousands of birds and animals were adversely affected by the environmental disaster.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will devour delicious mini corndogs, mouthwatering sauntering tacos with all of the drool-inducing fixings, 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 pretty nice. The high will be in the upper fifties, which is a bit warmer than yesterday, and the skies will be cloudy.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is expedition (ex·pe·di·tion), a noun that means an organized group of people undertaking a journey for a particular purpose. An expedition is no walk in the park. It's a serious journey, often with a very specific purpose undertaken by several people and lots of equipment. An expedition is an organized journey that is undertaken for a particular purpose, like a group of scientists launching an expedition to South America to seek out a new medicinal herb.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
The Dalai Lama, a notoriously big hitter, once said, "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." If being kind is a choice, and it is, why would anyone choose anything else? Quit wasting your time with the nonsense of being rude or mean, and choose to make this a remarkable Tuesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
