Clark Elementary Bulletin for Sunday, November 08, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! Today is November 9th, the 51st day of school, and the beginning of Kindness Week!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1938, in an event that would foreshadow the Holocaust, the Nazis launched a campaign of terror against Jewish people and their homes and businesses in Germany and Austria. The violence, which continued through November 10 and was later dubbed "Kristallnacht," or "Night of Broken Glass," after the countless smashed windows of Jewish-owned establishments, left approximately 100 Jews dead, 7,500 Jewish businesses damaged, and hundreds of synagogues, homes, schools, and graveyards vandalized. An estimated 30,000 Jewish men were arrested, many of whom were then sent to concentration camps for several months; they were released when they promised to leave Germany.
WEATHER Today's weather will be amazing. The high will soar into the upper sixties, and the skies will be chock-full of sun.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is fickle (tooth-some), an adjective that describes someone who changes their mind so much you can't rely on them. If your best friend suddenly decides that she doesn't like you one week, and then the next week she wants to hang out again, she's being fickle. Fickle comes from the Old English word ficol, for deceitful. We usually use fickle to talk about people, but it can also be used for abstract things that alternately favor you and abuse you, like the weather.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today for lunch, we'll be devouring a slab of delicious country fried steak, scrumptious nuggets filled with chickeny goodness, or a PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to consume and cartons of ice-cold milk to wash everything down with.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Bruce Lee, an actor and creator of a karate style, once said, "A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough." Think about the people in your life who get angry at the smallest things, yell and scream whenever they don't get their way. Those people are weak and exhausting. True strength is controlling yourself. Choose to control your actions and make this a phenomenal Friday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
