Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, September 18, 2025
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Thursday, September 18, the 18th day of school, and National Cheeseburger Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1793, George Washington laid the cornerstone of the United States Capitol building, the home of the legislative branch of the American government. The building would take nearly a century to complete, as architects came and went, the British set fire to it, and it was called into use during the Civil War. Today, the Capitol building, with its famous cast-iron dome and important collection of American art, is part of the Capitol Complex, which includes six Congressional office buildings and three Library of Congress buildings, all developed in the 19th and 20th centuries.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today for lunch, we're consuming nuggets of delicious popcorn chicken, a slab of mouth-watering meatloaf crammed with extra loafiness, or a classic PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to munch on and cartons full of ice-cold milk to quench your thirst.
WEATHER If you liked the weather yesterday, then you're in luck, because today's weather will be exactly the same.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is quibble (quib·ble), which is a verb that means to argue over petty things. A quibble is a small argument or fight. As a verb, it means to pick a mini-fight over something that doesn't really matter.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Roy T. Bennett, an author, once said, "Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are." You have complete control of your actions and words. Don't ever sacrifice your kindness and character because someone else is a jerk. Choose to make this a wonderful Thursday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
