Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Wednesday, October 21, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Morning Clark! Today is Tuesday, October 20, the 38th day of school, and National Day on Writing.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1967, the mythical ape-man "Bigfoot" was filmed in northern California, capturing the imagination of true believers worldwide. When a prominent Bigfoot researcher later sent the FBI a hair sample, they concluded it was of "deer family origin."
WEATHER Today's weather will be even better than yesterday. The high will be in the low seventies, and the skies will be mostly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is a blessing in disguise , which is an idiom that means something undesirable that ends up having unexpected good results. Spraining your wrist is painful and unpleasant, but if it gets you out of weeding the garden, it may be a blessing in disguise! A disguise is something that hides the true nature of a person or thing, and a blessing is something very good or fortunate. So at first you might see an event as negative, but you discover its true nature as a blessing when a good result removes the "disguise." People have been using this expression for almost 300 years. It is thought to have been first used by a writer named James Hervey in a religious song about accepting difficult circumstances.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will enjoy a bowl of delicious chili, scrumptious pizza crunchers, or a classic PB&J. We have oodles of fresh fruit and veggies to munch on and cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk to wet your whistle.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Tony Robbins, a big thinker and author, once said, "The only thing that's keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself." If you want to be better, you have to stop telling yourself things are too difficult or that being mean or disrespectful is just who you are. If you want to be different, then you need to think differently. Choose to make this a phenomenal Tuesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
