Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Wednesday, September 16, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Wednesday, September 16, the 16th day of school, and National Play-Doh Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1620, the Mayflower sails from Plymouth, England, bound for the Americas with 102 passengers. The ship heads for Virginia, where the colonists—half religious dissenters and half entrepreneurs—are authorized to settle by the British Crown. However, stormy weather and navigational errors eventually force the Mayflower off course. Before the end of the year, the "Pilgrims" will have founded the first permanent European settlement in New England.
WEATHER Today's weather will be a bit on the moist side this morning. The rain should clear out this afternoon, and the high will settle in the low seventies.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is coax (coax), which is a verb that means to influence or urge by gentle urging, caressing, or flattering. When you coax someone, you try to convince him gently, with pleasant words and maybe a little flattery. You'll have to be patient, as you can't rush someone you're trying to coax.
WHAT'S COOKING? For lunch today, we will munch on a flame-grilled hamburger with or without a slice of Wisconsin-aged cheddar, or a classic PB&J. We have fresh fruit and veggies to nibble on, plus a carton of refreshing, ice-cold milk to wash it all down.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Marvin Coultrip, farmer and deep thinker, once said, "Everything in life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want different results, start making different choices." You control how your life turns out. If you're not happy with whatever is going on, then make different choices. Choose, because it is a choice, to make this a stupendous Wednesday.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
