Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, September 24, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Thursday, September 24th, the 23rd day of school, the last day of school this week, and Bluebird of Happiness Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower, a massive rock formation in Wyoming, the country's first national monument. He calls the "lofty and isolated rock" a "natural wonder."
WEATHER Today's weather will be warmer than yesterday, with highs in the low seventies. The skies will be mostly cloudy throughout the day; luckily, there's no rain in the forecast.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's vocabulary word of the day is dilly-dally, a verb meaning to postpone doing what one should be doing. When you dilly-dally, you dawdle or waste time. Dilly-dally comes from the verb dally, which originally meant "to chat idly" and was later defined as "to linger or loiter." The dilly was added to give the word some alliterative flair. When people dilly-dally, they procrastinate or drag their feet.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch, we'll feast on a steaming pile of mouthwatering chicken Alfredo, a delicious Italian grilled cheese, or a classic PB&J. We'll have fistfuls of fruit and veggies to munch on, plus cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Francesca Reigler once said, "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same." You get to choose each day whether you go through life choosing to be happy or angry and miserable. Life is so much easier and more fun if you choose happiness. Choose to make this an outstanding Thursday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
