Clark Elementary Bulletin for Tuesday, November 10, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! Today is November 10th, the 52nd day of school, and the birthday of the Marine Corps.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1775, during the American Revolution, the Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that "two Battalions of Marines be raised" for service as landing forces for the recently formed Continental Navy. The resolution, drafted by future U.S. President John Adams and adopted in Philadelphia, created the Continental Marines and is now observed as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps.
WEATHER Today's weather will be just as wonderful as yesterday's. The high will be in the mid-sixties, and the skies will be awash with sunshine.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is gaggle (gag-gle), a noun meaning a flock of geese. You can also describe a disorganized bunch of people milling around as a gaggle. Gaggle is a word known as a "term of venery," a collective noun used to describe a particular group of animals. When a bunch of geese waddles around on the ground, that's a gaggle of geese. If those same geese were flying overhead, you'd call them a flock or a skein instead. Gaggle is also useful for describing a disorderly or chaotic group of people: "I was surrounded by a gaggle of three-year-olds eager to pet my puppy."
WHAT'S COOKING? Today for lunch, we feast on a pile of delicious arroz con pollo (chicken, rice, and queso), a scrumptious corndog crammed full of stick and hot meats, or a PB&J. We have fresh fruit and veggies to consume and cartons of ice-cold milk to wash everything down with.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
The Dalai Lama, a notoriously big hitter, once said, "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." Kindness is a choice. When you have a choice, why wouldn't you choose to be kind to others? Make this a fantastic Tuesday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
