Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, September 22, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, September 22nd, the 21st day of school, and Hobbit Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which set a date for the freedom of more than 3 million enslaved people in the United States and recasted the Civil War as a fight against slavery.
WEATHER Today's weather will be chock full of Fall wonderfulness. The high will be in the low sixties (which is perfect), and the skies will be partly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's vocabulary word of the day is balderdash (bal - der - dash), a noun meaning something said or written that doesn't make sense, such as a ridiculous claim or a bad argument. In other words, it's complete and utter nonsense. Balderdash is a fun, somewhat old-fashioned term for "nonsense" or "rubbish." It carries a British, slightly theatrical overtone, and is best used in a light-hearted way for trivial matters. Calling someone's argument "balderdash" feels more like a playful rebuke than a harsh insult.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch, we will enjoy amazing Super Nachos with all of the mouth-watering fixings, a delicious ham and cheese sandwich, or a classic PB&J. We have fistfuls of fruit and veggies to munch on and cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Neal Ford once said, "Be the reason someone believes in good people." The jerks in our lives get a lot of attention. They tend to take up everyone's attention, they go out of their way to make others feel horrible, and they only care about what they want. If you're one of the good people, remember that we don't have to let them win. Choose to make this a wonderful Monday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
