Clark Elementary Bulletin for Sunday, February 08, 2026

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Friday, February 9th, the 106th day of school, and National Cut The Cord Day.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1971, pitcher Leroy "Satchel" Paige became the first Negro League veteran to be nominated for the Baseball Hall of Fame. In August of that year, Paige, a pitching legend known for his fastball, showmanship, and the longevity of his playing career, which spanned five decades, was inducted. Joe DiMaggio once called Paige "the best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced."

WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, our choices are cheese pizza or pizza crunchers. All of this will be served with corn and delicious choices from the salad bar. You can wash this all down with a carton of milk.

WEATHER The weather today will be cool and windy. The high will reach 42, and strong wind gusts are possible. Hold your hats and the nearest kindergartner at recess.

VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is discombobulate. Discombobulate is a verb that means to confuse or mix someone up. When you leave your backpack at home, you get to school feeling discombobulated.

QUOTE OF THE DAY THE QUOTE OF THE DAY:

The quote of the day comes from a book the 5th graders are reading called Bud Not Buddy, "It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real, real small and then woop, zoop, sloop…before you can say Jack Robinson they've gone and grown a lot bigger than you ever thought they could."

This means that ideas often start out very small, just like seeds. If you take care of them and give them time, they can grow into something much bigger and more amazing than you ever expected.

THE JOKE OF THE DAY:

Today's joke of the day: Why did the strawberry cry?

His parents were in a jam.

BIRTHDAYS and PLEDGE:

Sophia DeLeon in Mrs. Engberg's room has a birthday today, and Ellie Boecker in Mrs. Carrillo's room has a birthday tomorrow. If you see them, be sure to wish them a happy birthday! If you haven't heard it from anyone today, we are so happy that you are here. Have a wonderful weekend!

Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
