Clark Elementary Bulletin for Sunday, September 20, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Monday, September 21st, the 20th day of school, and World Mini Golf Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1780, during the American Revolution, American General Benedict Arnold met with British Major John Andre to discuss handing West Point over to the British in exchange for a large sum of money and a high position in the British army. The plot was foiled, and Arnold, a former American hero, became synonymous with the word "traitor."
WEATHER Today's weather will be Falltastic. The high will be in the low sixties, and the skies will be mostly cloudy.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's vocabulary word of the day is initiative (in-i-ti-a-tive), which is a noun that means readiness to embark on bold new ventures. Initiative is all about taking charge. An initiative is the first in a series of actions. Initiative can also mean a personal quality that shows a willingness to get things done and take responsibility. A person with initiative is motivated to do things. If you take the initiative, you're willing to get things done on your own. Taking initiative can be risky: If you do something on your own initiative, then there's nobody you can blame if it goes wrong.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch, we will feast on crispy nuggets stuffed full of delicious chicken, a slab of mouth-watering meatloaf with an extra dose of loafiness, 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.
