Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, February 03, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, February 3rd, the 101st day of school, and National Golden Retriever Day.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1959, rising American rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, along with the pilot, were killed when their chartered Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashed in Iowa a few minutes after takeoff from Mason City on a flight headed for Moorhead, Minnesota.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we are devouring delicious chicken nachos, a slice of scrumptious cheese quesadilla, mouth-watering groundhog nuggets--because of the six more weeks of winter, or a delightful PB&J. We've got fresh fruits, veggies, and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to enjoy.
WEATHER The February heatwave continues today. The high will once again soar 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 standoffish (stand·off·ish), which is an adjective that describes someone distant, cold in manner, and unfriendly. When you first meet someone, she might seem standoffish when really she's just shy. The adjective standoffish is a great informal word for describing people who are reserved, haughty, or cold. Standoffish comes from a now obsolete meaning of the phrase stand off, "hold aloof."
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Marcus Aurelius once said, "The best revenge is to not be like your enemy."If someone is mean or just being a jerk, don't be like them. Don't respond with anger or nastiness. Remember, regardless of how others choose to behave, you have control over your actions and choices. Choose, because it's always a choice, to make this a truly remarkable Tuesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
