May 14 - 18, 2018



Bears,

What a great week here at RM Bacon!  We'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

In short, we had a wonderful staff appreciation week.  Prizes were given away, baskets were won, and eats and treats were enjoyed.  We even had free massages for those who signed up. 

We had April's PBIS Pep Rally last week as well.  It was pushed back due to PARCC testing being wrapped up the prior week.  The students and staff had fun during the challenge, students were recognized for good behavior, and Mr. Coyle used the rest of the time to remind the older grades of what good Bacon bear behavior should look like - a timely reminder as we approach the end of the school year. 

Finally, on Friday, we had our annual staff vs. students floor hockey.  This year, the students came from behind to defeat the staff by a final of 6-5.  It was an exciting game, and the students played some of the best floor hockey the staff has seen in years. Way to go, students. 

Be sure to check out the calendar.  This is the time of year when everything seems to happen at once!

Everyone have an awesome week!
