Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Wednesday, October 28, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark! Today is Wednesday, October 28, the 43rd day of school, and National Chocolate Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States, is dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland. Originally known as "Liberty Enlightening the World," the statue was proposed by the French abolitionist Edouard de Laboulaye to commemorate the Franco-American alliance during the American Revolution.
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 word of the day is smidgen (smidg-en), a noun that means a tiny or scarcely detectable amount. A smidgen is a little bit of something. You can use the adjective smidgen to talk about a tad of anything, although it's often used for describing or requesting little bits of food. It's thought to have come from the Scottish word smitch, "a small amount or an insignificant person."
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will consume a mouth-watering turkey sub with all of the fixings, a toasty and delicious grilled cheese, or a classic PB&J to nibble on. We have oodles of fresh fruit and veggies to munch on and cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk to wet your whistle.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Charles Swindoll, a pastor and author, once said, "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it." Life is going to happen; what separates the truly happy and successful people from everyone else is how they choose to react to life's ups and downs. Choose to make this a stupendous Wednesday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
