Clark Elementary Bulletin for Wednesday, January 14, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Wednesday, January 14th, it's the 88th day of school, and it's National Dress Up Your Pet Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1784, the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, ending the War for Independence and recognizing the independence of the United States from Great Britain—talk about a huge win for freedom!
WHAT'S COOKING? Alright, buckle up for lunch today, because the cafeteria crew has outdone themselves with a gloriously saucy BBQ pork sandwich, a hot dog that's ready to party like it's 1999 (complete with all the classic toppings you can dream up), or the legendary PB&J—because some days you just need a sandwich that's been perfect since kindergarten. We've also got fresh fruits and veggies standing by to pretend they're the exciting part, and those ever-delicious cartons of milk that are somehow always the perfect level of cold. Grab a tray and feast like the champions you are—your stomach will high-five you later!
WEATHER The weather today will be much chillier and a tad breezy. The high will be in the low thirties, with partly cloudy skies and a chance of blustery winds with wind gusts of 40 m.p.h. Time to tie down a kindergarten or preschool kid so they don't blow away.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is zany (zay-nee), which means amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic—often in a silly or crazy way. Think of a clown doing wild tricks or a character in a cartoon pulling off goofy antics. Just as there are good clowns and kind of scary, weird clowns, zany describes both truly funny and laughable people and things, as well as foolish, or ludicrous, attempts at being funny. Something zany makes people laugh, unless it's weird zany and just makes them cringe.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Albert Einstein, the genius physicist, once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world." Let your imagination run wild today—dream big, create something fun, be kind to others, and keep trying even when things get tough. That's how you grow into an awesome person. Choose positivity, curiosity, and fun, and you'll make this a fantastic Wednesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
