Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, March 30, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! ¡Buenos días, Clark Elementary! Today is Monday, March 30th, the 134th day of school, and National Pencil Day.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in history, 1858, Philadelphia inventor Hyman Lipman gets a patent for the first pencil with an attached eraser. Years later, the US Supreme Court erased the patent, ruling that combining two existing devices made Lipman's invention unworthy of a patent.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will devour delicious spaghetti slathered in meat sauce, munch on nuggets crammed full of chickeny goodness, or dine on a classic PB&J. You can enjoy fresh fruits or veggies from the salad bar and wash everything down with a carton of refreshing, ice-cold milk.
WEATHER The weather today will be much warmer than it has been the last few days. The high will soar into the eighties, and the skies will be partly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The vocabulary word of the day is pull the wool over someone's eyes, an idiom that means to intentionally deceive, trick, or hide the truth from someone. To pull the wool over someone's eyes is to fool them, especially by pretending to be friendly while actually cheating or stealing from them. This phrase most likely comes from the fashion of wearing wool wigs several centuries ago.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th president, once said, "Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right." Knowing the difference between right and wrong is only the beginning; you have to be willing to do the right thing as well. Choose to make this a remarkable Monday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
