Daily Bulletin
Clark Elementary Bulletin for Thursday, November 05, 2026
GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning, Clark Elementary! Today is Thursday, November 5th, the 50th-ish day of school, and American Football Day!
THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was reelected for an unprecedented third term as president of the United States.
WEATHER If you like cold, dreary days, you'll love today's weather. The high will be in the low fifties, the skies will be cloudy all day, and there's a chance of some rain this afternoon.
VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER/WORD OF THE DAY Today's word of the day is petrified (pet-ri-fied), an adjective that describes someone who is struck with fear and unable to move, or something turned to stone or a stone-like substance. If you've ever felt so terrified you couldn't move, you've been petrified. Petrified is from the French pétrifier, "change into stone," and the Latin root petra, "rock or crag." Its earliest definition was "converted into a stony substance," and this literal meaning describes certain rocky fossils that developed from softer organic matter, like wood. The figurative use, for a person so scared they seem made of stone, dates to the 18th century.
WHAT'S COOKING? Today for lunch, we'll be feasting on a delicious chicken patty full of chickeny goodness, a wonderful Crispito, or a PB&J. We have fresh fruits and veggies to consume and cartons of ice-cold milk to wash everything down with.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Steve Maraboli once said, "Wisdom stems from personal accountability. We all make mistakes; own them... learn from them. Don't throw away the lesson by blaming others." The true mark of intelligence is learning from your choices and becoming a better person. Sometimes those lessons can hurt a bit, but if you learn from them, you'll be a better person because of it. Choose to make this a truly amazing Thursday!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
