Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, April 28, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, April 28, the 150th day of school, and Save the Frogs Day.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1967, boxing champion Muhammad Ali refused to be inducted into the U.S. Army and was immediately stripped of his heavyweight title. Ali, a Muslim, cited religious reasons for his decision to forgo military service.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will devour a mouthwatering Crispito, a scrumptious chicken patty full of the choicest chicken parts, or a classic PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to munch on and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to guzzle down.
WEATHER The weather today is going to be cooler than yesterday. The high will be in the low sixties, and the skies will be cloudy throughout the day.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is ransack (ran-sack), which is a verb that means to rifle through things, steal some of them, and leave a huge mess behind. If neighborhood dogs got into a cupcake shop, they would probably ransack it. You can use the verb ransack to describe a careful search — you might ransack your backpack looking for your car keys, for example. Marauding armies, feral cats, burglars, and other troublemakers are often described as ransacking towns, rooms, gardens, or shops, especially if they take things and leave disarray in their wake. The word ransack comes from the Old Norse rannsaka, which has a similar meaning but is literally "search the house."
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic bigwig, once said, "When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be hurtful, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and mean. They are like this because they can't tell the good from the bad, or the right from the wrong. But I have seen the beauty of the good, and I will not act this way." Remember, you have a choice, actually, the only choice, concerning how you choose to behave. Choose, because it is your choice to make this a remarkable Tuesday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
