Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, September 14, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Monday, September 14, the 14th day of school, the first day of Homecoming Week, and Gobstopper Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1964, the Kellogg's Company began selling the Pop-Tart. The innovative portable-breakfast-treat-turned-anytime-snack would go on to sell billions annually and help redefine the breakfast food market.
WEATHER Today's weather will be stupendous! The high will be in the upper seventies, and the skies will be partly sunny. Enjoy the great weather.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is hunky-dory, which is an adjective that describes things as being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition. The informal hunky-dory is perfect for those times when everything is great, going according to plan, or not bad at all. This American-coined adjective has been around since the 1860s, from the now-obsolete hunkey, "all right," which stems from the New York slang hunk, "in a safe position," and the Dutch root honk or "home." The origin of dory is unknown.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will feast on a slab of delicious country-fried steak, nuggets crammed full of the choicest chicken parts, or a classic PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to munch on and a carton of refreshing, ice-cold milk to wash it all down.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ray Dalio, an investor who has made over a billion dollars, once said, "The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your decisions." Your life depends on your decisions. If you're having a rotten day or throwing a temper tantrum because "someone made you angry," that's absolute nonsense. You are choosing to be upset. You can choose just as easily to chill out and have a good day. Whether you have a good day or a bad one depends on you and your choices. Choose, because it is a choice to make this a phenomenal Monday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
