Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, March 31, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Bonjour, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, March 31st, the 135th day of school, and National Tater Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in history, 1889, the Eiffel Tower was dedicated in Paris in a ceremony presided over by Gustave Eiffel, the tower's designer, and attended by French Prime Minister Pierre Tirard, a handful of other dignitaries, and 200 construction workers.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will feast on mouthwatering tacos, hot dogs full of whatever mysterious meat items make hot dogs delicious, or dine on a classic PB&J. You can enjoy fresh fruits or veggies from the salad bar and wash everything down with a carton of refreshing, ice-cold milk.
WEATHER The weather today will be cooler, windier, and wetter than yesterday. The high will be in the seventies, the winds will be gusting up to 30 m.p.h., and there's an excellent chance for rain.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The vocabulary word of the day is nonchalance (non·cha·lance), a noun that means a casual lack of concern, a relaxed state without anxiety or enthusiasm. Oddly, the word's origins go back to the Latin calere, which is the same word as the root of calorie. A calorie is a unit of energy, and to act with nonchalance is to refrain from showing too much energy or excitement, so actually, it makes sense.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th president, once said, "Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right." Knowing the difference between right and wrong is only the beginning; you have to be willing to do the right thing as well. Choose to make this a wonderful Tuesday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
