Clark Elementary Bulletin for Sunday, April 05, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary, it's Monday! Today is April 6th, the 138th day of school, and National Twinkie Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1917, two days after the U.S. Senate voted 82 to 6 to declare war against Germany, the U.S. House of Representatives endorsed the declaration by a vote of 373 to 50. As a result, America formally entered World War I.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will feast on a delightful chicken patty sandwich oozing with chickeny goodness, delicious mac and cheese, or a classic PB&J. You can enjoy fresh fruit or veggies from the salad bar and wash everything down with a carton of refreshing, ice-cold milk.
WEATHER The weather today will be pretty nice. The high will be in the low fifties, and the skies will be partly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY
The word of the day is dilly-dally (ske·dad·dle) , a verb that means to waste time through aimless wandering or indecision. When you dilly-dally, you dawdle or waste time.
Dilly-dally comes from the verb dally, which originally meant "to chat idly" and was later defined as "to linger or loiter." The dilly was added to give the word some alliterative flair. When people dilly-dally, they procrastinate or drag their feet.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Tom Brady, former quarterback and 7-time Super Bowl champion, once said, "To be successful at anything, the truth is you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't: consistent, determined, and willing to work for it. No shortcuts." Whatever you want in life, you can achieve it if you just show up and work your tail off to get it. Choose to make this a wonderful Monday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
