Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, May 14, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! Today is Thursday, May 14th, 2026, the 162nd day of school, Do Dah Day, and Dance Like A Chicken Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1804, one year after the United States doubled its territory with the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition left St. Louis, Missouri, on a mission to explore the Northwest from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will ingest handfuls of delicious popcorn chicken, a slab of meat loaf crammed full of an extra serving of loafiness, 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 Today's weather will once again be remarkable. The high will be in the upper seventies, and the skies will be oozing sunshine.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY
Today's word of the day is camaraderie (ca-ma-ra-de-rie), which is a noun that means a spirit of good friendship and loyalty among members of a group. You might not like your job, but still enjoy the camaraderie of the people you work with.
A high level of camaraderie among athletes on and off the field not only makes it fun to play sports, but is likely to make your team win. This noun was borrowed from French, from camarade, "comrade." It retains the French spelling and French-like pronunciation kahm-uh-RAHD-uh-ree. The suffix -erie corresponds to English -ery, used with nouns to indicate a quality.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Marcus Aurelius, a big cheese in the Stoic world, once said, "If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it." Life is truly that easy. Don't do things you know to be wrong, and don't lie. If you can do those two things, you'll be set. Choose to make this a truly amazing Thursday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
