Clark Elementary Bulletin for Monday, March 18, 2024

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS! Good morning Clark Elementary! Today is Tuesday, March 19th, the 124th day of school, the first day of Spring, and it's National Automatic Door Day!


THIS DAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 2003, the United States, along with coalition forces primarily from the United Kingdom, initiated war on Iraq. Just after explosions began to rock Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, U.S. President George W. Bush announced in a televised address, “At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.”


VOCABULARY BUILDER-UPPER WORD OF THE DAY The word of the day is smithereens (smith·er·eens) which is a noun that means a collection of small fragments considered as a whole. The noun smithereens is good for describing the tiny pieces of something, especially when it's been smashed into small bits. The origin of the word is thought to be the Irish smidirín, or "fragment."


WEATHER Today’s weather will be much warmer and unfortunately just as windy as yesterday. The high will soar into the sixties, the skies will be sunny, and the winds will be gusting up to 25 m.p.h.


WHAT'S COOKING? We will devour scrumptious mini-corn dogs or amazing mouth-watering tacos with all of the fixings. We have fresh fruits and veggies to munch on and cartons of refreshing, ice-cold milk to guzzle down.


QUOTE OF THE DAY Marcus Aurelius, emperor of the Roman Empire, once said, "You can live a good life even if others criticize you or try to bring you down. Stay true to yourself, and nothing can throw off your balance." Remember, you always are in control of your behavior, no matter how anyone else treats you or others. Choose to make this a remarkable Tuesday.

Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance!
