Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, September 29, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, September 29, the 25th day of school, and National Starbucks Day.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1913, Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the engine that bears his name, disappeared from the steamship Dresden while traveling from Antwerp, Belgium, to Harwich, England. On October 10, a Belgian sailor aboard a North Sea steamer spotted a body floating in the water; upon further investigation, it turned out that the body was Diesel's. There was, and remains, a great deal of mystery surrounding his death.
WEATHER Today's weather will be summer-like. The high will soar into the upper seventies, and the skies will be mostly sunny.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's vocabulary word of the day is inkling (ink·ling), a noun meaning a slight suggestion or vague understanding. The word comes from the medieval English word inclen, which suitably enough means "to utter in an undertone." In other words, what's really being said is in between the lines of what's actually being said on the surface. By now you've probably got the inkling that inklings can be sneaky things.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch, we'll devour a mouthwatering Crispito, a delicious flame-grilled cheeseburger, or a classic PB&J. We'll have boatloads of fruit and veggies to munch on, plus cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Topher Kearby, an artist, once said, "Many people choose to be kind in life because they have lived through dark days and know how much hope even a single light can bring. That's why kindness is so powerful--it's a choice." Choose to be kind, and the reason people know there are way more good people in this world than not. Make this a phenomenal Tuesday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
