Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, November 24, 2025
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Monday, November 24th, 2025, the 64th day of school, and National Sardines Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY!
On this day in 1960, Philadelphia Warrior Wilt Chamberlain snagged 55 rebounds in a game against the Boston Celtics and set an NBA record for the most rebounds in a single game.
The seven-foot-one-inch Chamberlain—often called "Wilt the Stilt," a nickname he detested, or "The Big Dipper," because he was so tall that he had to dip his head to get through the doorway—was, sportswriters and fans agree, one of the best offensive basketball players of his era.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we are feasting on the delicious Thanksgiving classic, orange chicken, a mouthwatering Italian sub, or the delicious PB&J. We have an abundance of fresh fruits and veggies to dine on, and cartons filled with refreshing, ice-cold milk to wet your whistle.
WEATHER The weather today will be a bit cooler than the last few days. The high will be in the low fifties, the skies will be cloudy, and there's an excellent chance for some moisture today.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is wheelhouse (wheel-house), which is a noun that can mean a person's area of interest, skill, or expertise. Something in your wheelhouse is something you are particularly good at or familiar with, while something outside of it is unfamiliar or a challenge. This idiom originated from the literal wheelhouse of a ship and the baseball term for an ideal hitting zone for a batter.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Socrates, a big-time Greek philosopher, once said, "Smart people learn from everything and everyone. Average people learn from their experiences. Stupid people already have all of the answers." The smartest people I have ever met are curious and always willing to ask questions, take chances, and are never afraid to look silly because they know they will learn something from every experience. The dumbest people are the ones who know everything, are too insecure to take chances, and are more worried about looking cool than learning. Choose to be curious today and make this a wonderful Monday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
