June 29 - July 7

Bacon Bears,

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break. It goes fast, so be sure to make the most of the time. We have been busy here at RM Bacon finishing up the school year and tying up all loose ends. The maintenance crew is making excellent progress on the 3rd floor (Thank you teachers for having the rooms ready to be cleaned).

Don't forget to check out the Summer Learning Section of the RM Bacon Weekly. There are activities for each grade. Here is the link

Please share any vacation or activities with us. We will feature you in the RM Bacon Weekly. Email Dr. Cook spike.cook@millvillenj.gov

June 22 - June 26

Bacon Bears,

Focusing on Today, Tomorrow, and the Future!


Since June 22 is our last day of school, the staff at RM Bacon would like to thank the students and parents for another wonderful year. We accomplished so much this year. Each student was able to improve as a result of their hard work and effort. The RM Bacon staff will miss the 5th graders, and we wish them luck as they move on to Lakeside Middle School.

The summer is a great time to spend with friends and family. Yet, we want students to continue to spend time learning which is why we created the Summer Learning Suggestions. You can access this page on the side of our blog or by clicking this link.


The RM Bacon Weekly will be updated over the summer. Be sure to check back here for the latest information on our school and for other important announcements.

June 15 - June 19

Bacon Bears,

Focusing on Today, Tomorrow and the Future!


This is the last full week of school. With that said, we will continue to maintain a focused learning environment. Teachers still have a lot of information to review with the students. In addition, we have a few field trips.

This week will be very special for our 5th graders. On Monday, the 5th graders and their parents are invited to the annual luncheon. This event will take place in the Bacon Gym at 12:00 PM. On Tuesday, we will be having a Moving Up Ceremony for the 5th graders at 6:00 PM in the Bacon Gym. On Thursday, the 5th grade will be going on their last field trip as Bacon Bears.

Parents are invited to two special awards ceremonies this week. On Thursday, the K-2 Awards will take place at 10:00 AM. On Friday, students in grades 3-5 will be acknowledged in the Honor Roll Assembly at 10:00 AM. Be sure to join us!
