Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, May 21, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! It's Thursday, May 21st, 2026, the 168th day of school, the last Thursday of the school year, and Talk Like Yoda Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1881, in Washington, D.C., humanitarians Clara Barton and Adolphus Solomons founded the American National Red Cross, an organization established to provide humanitarian aid to victims of wars and natural disasters.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today, for lunch, we will feast on a slab of country-fried steak, nuggets crammed full of chickeny goodness, or a delightful PB&J. We have oodles of fresh fruit and veggies to munch on and cartons full of refreshing, ice-cold milk to gulp down.
WEATHER The weather today will be OKish. The high will be in the upper sixties, there's a chance for some rain this morning, and the skies will be mostly cloudy.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY
Today's word of the day is baker's dozen, which is an idiom that means thirteen of something. If your cat has a baker's dozen of kittens, she has thirteen babies.
You can use the term baker's dozen any time you're talking about thirteen items. You might buy a baker's dozen of stuffed animals for your many cousins, or bake a baker's dozen of chocolate chip cookies. In fact, baking is the origin of baker's dozen — since the sixteenth century, the term has been used to talk about the longstanding custom of bakers adding an extra loaf or muffin or bagel to a customer's order of a dozen.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ralph Waldo Emerson, a super famous poet from the 1800's, once said, "What is success? To find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" Real success depends on the impact you have on others, the kindness you share, and your ability to lighten another person's load. If you want to be successful in life, then be a good person. Choose to make this a fantabulous Thursday!
