Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, October 22, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Morning Clark! Today is Thursday, October 22, the 40th day of school, and National Make a Dog's Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1797, the first parachute jump of note was made by André-Jacques Garnerin from a hydrogen balloon 3,200 feet above Paris.
WEATHER Today's weather...amazing. The high will be in the mid-seventies, and the skies will be sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is hoodwink (hood-wink), a verb meaning to trick or mislead someone. An excellent, old-fashioned word is hoodwink, and you'll be happy you know it when you have to read Victorian novels in which characters are repeatedly hoodwinked. It is an Old English compound that meant "to blindfold" 600 years ago but quickly began to be used figuratively.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we're devouring delicious Bosco sticks, scrumptious mac and cheese bites crammed full of cheesy goodness, 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
Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor and Stoic bigwig, once said, "Waste no more time arguing what a good man (or woman) should be. Be one." Every single person in this building knows right from wrong. Every one of us knows that we shouldn't yell and scream every time we don't get our way. We all know how to be kind and help others. The only thing standing in the way of us doing the right thing is us and our choices. Choose to make this a fantabulous Thursday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
