Clark Elementary Bulletin for Wednesday, October 07, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Wednesday, October 7, the 31st day of school, and National Kale Day! Who doesn't love a big bowl of kale?
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in history, in 1916, Georgia Tech defeats Cumberland University, 222-0, in the most lopsided game in college football history. Coached by John Heisman, later the namesake of college football's most famous trophy, Georgia Tech takes a 63-0 lead in the first quarter at Grant Field in Atlanta.
WEATHER Today will be another beautiful day. The high will be in the upper seventies, and the skies will be full of sunshine.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's vocabulary word of the day is traipse (traipse), which is a verb that means to walk around with a sloppy or aimless attitude. When you traipse, you trudge in an exhausted or reluctant way. Picture several kids dutifully following their dad along a hiking path or walking a mile to school, and you'll have a good idea of what traipse means. We've used the word since the 16th century, but its origin isn't certain. Some scholars think traipse comes from the French trepasser, "to pass over," while others believe it started as an example of onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like what it means.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will devour a delicious Sloppy Joe, a scrumptious hot dog crammed full of a variety of delightful parts, or a classic PB&J. We have gobs of fresh fruit and veggies to munch on and cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk to quench your thirst.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Marcus Aurelius, a Roman bigwig, once said, "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." Remember, you can't control anyone or anything other than yourself. Quit worrying about what others are doing and focus on being the best version of yourself. Choose to make this an outstanding Wednesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
