Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, April 02, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary, it's Thursday! Today is April 2nd, the 137th day of school, and National Burrito Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act, establishing the United States Mint as the federally authorized producer of the nation's coin currency.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will feast on popcorn chicken crammed full of chickeny goodness, fluffy mashed potatoes adorned with delicious shredded turkey and gravy, 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 warmer, windier, and wetter than yesterday. The high will be in the seventies, the winds will be gusting up to 40 m.p.h., and there's an excellent chance for rain throughout the day.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is skedaddle (ske·dad·dle) , a verb that means to depart quickly or hurriedly or to run away. When you skedaddle, you leave very suddenly. A kid who breaks a window with her baseball might decide to skedaddle before her neighbor comes home from work. Skedaddle is American Civil War military slang, dating from about 1861 — experts aren't sure what its roots are.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Dale Carnegie once said, "It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you're doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about." You and you alone are in control of your happiness. If you're foolish enough to allow others to control your attitude, then you'll be miserable. Take back your power and choose your own attitude. Choose to make this a truly wonderful Thursday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
