Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, February 03, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Wednesday, February 4th, the 102nd day of school, and Liberace Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1789, George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, was unanimously elected the first president of the United States by all 69 presidential electors who cast their votes. John Adams of Massachusetts, who received 34 votes, was elected vice president.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we are munching on a mouth-watering Sloppy Joe with an extra dose of sloppiness, a scrumptious ham and cheese sammy, or a delightful PB&J. We've got fresh fruits, veggies, and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to enjoy.
WEATHER Today's weather will be excellent for February. It proves that the whistle pig Punxatawney Phil has no idea what he's talking about. The high will be in the mid-thirties, and the skies will be mostly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is smattering (smat·ter·ing), which is a noun that means a small but inexact amount of something. It's probably less than a bunch, but it's not much more than a whit or a jot. If you said, "There's a smattering of squirrels in the park," then there are only a few squirrels. This word also implies that you don't understand a subject very well — a smattering of knowledge is only a tiny bit of knowledge.
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.
