Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, August 24, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning and Welcome Back, Clark Elementary! Today is Monday, August 23, 2026; it's the 1st day of school and Find Your Inner Nerd Day.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1947, the first Little League World Series championship game—the culmination of a three-day tournament in Williamsport, Pennsylvania—featured teams from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Before roughly 2,500 fans, Maynard, a team from Williamsport, defeats Lock Haven, 16-7, to win the title at Original Field.
WEATHER The weather today will be delightful—expect bright sunshine and a high in the low 80s.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is optimistic (op-ti-mis-tic), which is an adjective that describes someone who thinks the best possible thing will happen and hopes for it even if it's not likely. If you see the glass as half-full when others see it as half-empty, if you look on the bright side of things, you're optimistic.
WHAT'S COOKING? For our first lunch of the school year, we will feast on a pile of delicious orange chicken atop a mound of fluffy rice, a mouth-watering Italian Sub, or a PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to munch on and a carton of refreshing, ice-cold milk to wash everything down with.
QUOTE OF THE DAY This Rumi guy, who was so cool he only needed one name, once said, "Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd." Just be cool with everyone and take care of each other. Choose to make this a remarkable Monday
