Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, May 04, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! Today is Monday, May 4, 2026, the 154th day of school, and it's Star Wars Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1979, Margaret Thatcher, leader of the Conservative Party, became Britain's first female prime minister. The Oxford-educated chemist and lawyer took office the day after the Conservatives won a 44-seat majority in the general parliamentary elections.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will feast on a delightful chicken patty sandwich crammed full of the choicest chicken chunks or a delicious PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to munch on and cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk to guzzle down.
WEATHER The weather today will be warm, dry, and sunny, which is a good combo. The high will be in the low eighties, and the skies will be mostly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is hunch (hunch), which is a noun that can mean an impression that something might be the case. When you have a hunch about something, you think it might be true. Your dog bolts over the fence, and you have a hunch he's heading for the neighbor who feeds him pâté. Hunch is an odd word of unknown origin, which seems to have originally meant "to push or shove" — to nudge.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
In honor of Star Wars Day, I share with you a quote from Yoda who once said, "Do or do not. There is no try." When you choose to take something on, whether it's becoming a better person, getting better at reading, or learning a new skill, throw everything you have into it. Don't just dip your toes, dive in headfirst and do it. Choose to make this a phenomenal Monday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
