Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, May 18, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! It's Monday, May 18th, 2026, the 165th day of school, the last Monday of the school year, and I Love Reese's Day! To be fair, who doesn't love a good Reese's?
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1980, Mount St. Helens, a volcanic peak in southwestern Washington, suffered a massive eruption, killing 57 people and devastating some 210 square miles of wilderness.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today, for lunch, we will feast on the exquisite orange chicken, a delightful Italian sub, 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, in a word, will be...wet. There is an excellent chance of rain throughout the day, and the high will be in the mid-seventies.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is oodles (oo·dles), which is a noun that means a large number or amount. When you have oodles of something, you have a whole lot of it. If you have a big bowl of spaghetti, then you can say that you have "oodles of noodles." Use the informal oodles when you mean "lots," "tons," or "bunches." If you grow up to have oodles of money, you can buy a huge house with oodles of space for the oodles of puppies you plan to adopt. Of course, you also imagine having oodles of dog nannies to take care of the puppies and clean up after them. Oodles is an American English word that first turned up in nineteenth-century Texas.
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 or friend. Choose to make this a truly outstanding Monday!
