Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, February 10, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, February 10th, the 107th day of school, and in honor of Johnn Swailes and all the other cribbage-maniacs, it's International Cribbage Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1943, duct tape was born when Vesta Stoudt, a factory worker packing WWII munitions, wrote FDR outlining—with drawings—her idea to replace weak paper packing tape with a tougher, waterproof cloth version. Impressed, FDR pushed her idea into production.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we're devouring a bowl of delicious chili, a scrumptious ham and cheese roll-up, or the Cal Ripken, Jr. of sandwiches...a PB&J. We have fresh fruits, veggies, and cartons crammed full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to round out your lunch.
WEATHER The February heat wave continues today. The high will be in the fifties, and the skies will be full of sunshine. Enjoy the beautiful weather.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is persnickety (per·snick·et·y), which is an adjective that describes someone who is fussy and pays too much attention to minor details. The adjective persnickety sounds prickly like a porcupine, and persnickety people can indeed be sharp and prickly when they don't get things precisely as they wish.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Epictetus, a Stoic who was such a boss he only needed one name, once said, "I focus on what I can control. And let the rest pass." Don't let other people's rudeness or meanness change the amazing person you are. Your only focus has to be on what you can control. Choose to make this a wonderful Tuesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
