Clark Elementary Bulletin for Wednesday, March 11, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Wednesday, March 11th, it's the 127th day of school, and Wash Your Nose Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1888, one of the worst blizzards in American history struck the Northeast, killing more than 400 people and dumping as much as 55 inches of snow in some areas. New York City ground to a near halt in the face of massive snow drifts and powerful winds from the storm. At the time, approximately one in every four Americans lived in the area between Washington, D.C., and Maine, the area affected by the Great Blizzard of 1888.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will munch on a delightful BBQ pork sandwich, a delicious hot dog crammed full of hot dog stuff, or a classic PB&J. We have fresh fruits, veggies, and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to round out your amazing lunch.
WEATHER The weather today will be warm and most likely wet. The high will be in the upper seventies, and there is a chance for some thunderstorms and perhaps a bit of hail this afternoon.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The vocabulary word of the day is fiasco (fi·as·co), a noun that means a complete failure or collapse. Fiasco comes from the Italian term that means "to make a bottle." How it came to describe an utter, embarrassing disaster in the English language is still unknown. Today, you'll hear fiasco used in situations that have gone so horribly awry that they are almost laughable, like the Thanksgiving dinner fiasco in which the turkey burnt to a crisp, the dog ate all the side dishes, and everyone had to eat frozen pizza instead.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, once said, "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be." Don't forget that you're in control of your happiness or misery; it's a choice. You want to be happy? Then be happy already and quit whining about what others have done. Choose to make this a truly outstanding Wednesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
