Clark Elementary Bulletin for Friday, January 23, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Thursday, January 22nd, the 94th day of school, and Answer Your Cat's Questions Day.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1840, colonists aboard The New Zealand Company's ship, the Aurora, became the first European settlers to arrive at Petone to found the settlement that would become Wellington.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will dine on a slab of delicious meat loaf full of extra loafiness, a handful of mouth-watering chicken nuggs crammed full of chickeny goodness, or the classic PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to nibble on and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to guzzle down.
WEATHER Today's weather is pretty typical for January. The high will settle into the low thirties, and the skies will be mostly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is skiddoo (skid·doo), which is a verb that means to go away or get out quickly.Skiddoo rose to prominence in early 20th-century slang, embodying the thrill of a swift departure. Whether dodging trouble or making a playful exit, skiddoo is the perfect word for a hasty retreat.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Jordan Peterson, author and psychologist, once said, "Don't compare yourself with other people; compare yourself with who you were yesterday." Your focus needs to be on your growth. Comparison is the thief of joy, so quit comparing yourself to others and focus on your growth. Choose to make this a truly remarkable Thursday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
