Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, May 19, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! It's Tuesday, May 19th, 2026, the 166th day of school, the last Tuesday of the school year, and Frog Jumping Jubilee Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1943, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt plotted the cross-Channel landing that would become D-Day—May 1, 1944. That date will prove a bit premature, as bad weather becomes a factor.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today, for lunch, we will devour mouthwatering chicken nachos, a delicious cheese quesadilla, or a classic PB&J. We have oodles of fresh fruit and veggies to munch on and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to gulp down.
WEATHER The weather today will be fantastic, if you're into mild temps and cloudy skies. The high will be in the mid-sixties, and the skies will be cloudy for most of the day.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is cut from the same cloth, which is an idiom that means very similar people. If you're cut from the same cloth as your cousin, the two of you probably like the same things and think and act similarly. And if two people easily become friends, it's likely because they're cut from the same cloth. The expression cut from the same cloth likely comes from a period when most people had their clothes made by tailors. Two people might've had their jackets made at different times by the same tailor, but the jackets looked very similar because the same piece of fabric had been used for both. Now the phrase is used more figuratively to say that people share similar qualities, beliefs, backgrounds, or ways of doing things.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ralph Waldo Emerson, a super famous poet from the 1800's, once said, "What is success? To find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" Real success depends on the impact you have on others, the kindness you share, and your ability to lighten another person's load. If you want to be successful in life, then be a good person. Choose to make this an outstanding Tuesday!
