Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, November 05, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary...it's Friday! Today is November 6th, the 50th-ish day of school, and National Nacho Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United States over a deeply divided Democratic Party, becoming the first Republican to win the presidency. Lincoln received only 40 percent of the popular vote but handily defeated the three other candidates: Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge, Constitutional Union candidate John Bell, and Northern Democrat Stephen Douglas, a U.S. senator for Illinois.
WEATHER Today's weather will definitely feel like November. The high will be in the mid-forties, and the skies will be partly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is toothsome (tooth-some), an adjective that describes something that is appetizing or tasty, or someone who is handsome or beautiful. Toothsome describes something absolutely delicious. You can use the adjective toothsome when you need a new way to say "yummy" or "scrumptious" or "tasty." This is the earliest meaning of toothsome, from the 1560's — later it came to also be used for describing a pretty girl.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today for lunch, we'll be devouring a slice of toothsome stuffed crust pizza, scrumptious fiesta pizza, or a PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to consume and cartons of ice-cold milk to wash everything down with.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Bruce Lee, an actor and creator of a karate style, once said, "A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough." Think about the people in your life who get angry at the smallest things, yell and scream whenever they don't get their way. Those people are weak and exhausting. True strength is controlling yourself. Choose to control your actions and make this a phenomenal Friday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
