Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, May 08, 2025
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning Clark Elementary! Today is Thursday, May 8, 2024, the 163rd day of school, and National Give Someone a Cupcake Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1945, Great Britain, the United States, and other Allied countries celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Cities in the U.S., U.K., and Western Europe, along with the Soviet Union, Canada, and Australia put out flags and banners, rejoicing in the defeat of the Nazi war machine during World War II.
WEATHER The weather today will be near perfect. The high will be in the low seventies, there will be a gentle breeze, and the skies will be full of sunshine.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today for lunch, we're munching on a scrumptious chicken wrap, delectable shrimp poppers filled with extra shrimpiness, or a classic PB&J. We have fruits and veggies to munch on and cartons filled with refreshing, ice-cold milk to wash everything down.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is Old Glory , a noun that is a nickname for the U.S. flag. The original Old Glory was a flag owned by a 19th-century sea captain that was protected during the Civil War from being captured by Confederate soldiers. This famous flag inspired the nickname for what you might also know as "the Star-Spangled Banner" or "the Stars and Stripes." The first Old Glory had 24 stars, while today's version has 50, representing the 50 states, and 13 stripes for the original British colonies.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Seneca, a guy so smart and cool that he only needs one name, once said, "Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness." Every person you meet presents an opportunity for you to be kind. Take full advantage of every opportunity you have to spread some kindness today. Choose, because it's a choice, to make this a remarkable Thursday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
