March 19 - 23

Bacon Bears,

Did I just see that Spring is beginning on Tuesday? I feel like we never had a winter.

Take a look at our Video of the Week, Directed and Produced by Mrs. De Vita:

After our Faculty Meeting last week, I asked all of the previous Teachers of the Year to join together for a picture with the current TOY, Mr. Drewnowski. Want to hear what they are saying about him?

"Anyone who has seen Mr. D teach recognizes that he is an outstanding educator who is respected by each and every student; but what I admire most is his relationship with those students. Mr. Drewnowski makes sure that every child knows that he truly believes that they can and will succeed and as a result, produces a class of successful, proud learners who also believe in themselves."

Another teacher added, "If you know Mr. D. you know that he idolizes Michael Jordan, so I thought I would send you this quote by MJ ' Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.' That is what he does here at RM Bacon."

Staff Spotlight on Mrs. Mercado (Who Knew?)

Mrs. Mercado is our Spanish teacher. I was recently made aware that she was a professional basketball player. This must explain her ball handling skills. Mrs. Mercado makes learning Spanish fun and the kids enjoy her classes. She has such a positive attitude about life! It is contagious when you are around her!

We had a tremendous week at RM Bacon last week. The teachers loved the treat from Chick-Fil-A on Tuesday. Fourth graders are getting deeper into Tae Kwon Do, and the Kindergartners are swimming it up at the pool.

The Staff vs. Students Floor Hockey games was one for the ages. Unfortunately for the students, the Staff won both games. The Player of the Game honors went to Mr. Mazza, the Dazzla. Thanks to all who helped and especially to Mrs. Bingham for her coordination efforts.

This week we have a few things going on such as Silly Sock Day on Tuesday and 4th grade Tae Kwon Do. Our Kindergarten will be swimming on Thursday.
