Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, March 02, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Monday, March 2nd, it's the 120th day of school, and it's Read Across America Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1904, Theodor Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss, was born, the author and illustrator of such children's books as "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham." Geisel, who used his middle name (which was also his mother's maiden name) as his pen name, wrote 48 books—including some for adults—that have sold well over 200 million copies and been translated into multiple languages. Dr. Seuss' books are known for their whimsical rhymes and quirky characters, which have names like the Lorax and the Sneetches and live in places like Whoville.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we feast on a heaping, steaming pile of creamy and delicious chicken alfredo, nuggets crammed full of chickeny goodness, or the classic PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies and cartons filled to the brim with refreshing, ice-cold milk.
WEATHER The weather today will be pretty nice. The high will be in the upper forties, and the skies will be mostly sunny. Enjoy the beautiful day because there's a good chance of rain for the next couple of days.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The vocabulary word of the day is hat trick, a noun that means three consecutive scores by one player or three scores in one game (as in cricket or ice hockey, etc.). A hat trick is three scores in a row or in the same game. It's most commonly used in hockey to refer to a player scoring three goals in a single game. This term originally referred to a bowler in cricket retiring three batsmen with three consecutive balls. This achievement was rewarded with a hat, thus the name. From there, it spread to other sports, especially hockey, where a hat trick means one player has scored three goals in a game. The word is also used loosely for any accomplishment that has three parts. An actor who wins three Oscars has scored a hat trick of sorts.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Marcus Aurelius once said, "If it isn't right, don't do it. If it isn't true, don't say it. Controlling your impulses is on you." It doesn't matter what anyone else does; you are in control of yourself. If it isn't right, don't do it, it doesn't matter if the person was mean to you first or if the adult isn't looking. Control yourself and do the right thing. Choose to make this a tremendous Monday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
