Safety Patrol with another rainy dismissal 

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in Schools) 

Welcome back to another edition of RM Bacon Weekly, where we bring you the latest and greatest from our vibrant school community. As we approach the holiday season, there's a palpable sense of gratitude and excitement in the air. Let's dive into the highlights of the upcoming week!

Gratitude in Full Bloom

As we kick off the week, let's take a moment to express our gratitude. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, it's the perfect time to reflect on the things we are thankful for, both big and small. Our school community thrives on the positive energy generated by the gratitude of students, teachers, and parents alike. Let's continue to cultivate an atmosphere of appreciation and acknowledgment for the wonderful individuals who make RM Bacon Elementary a special place to learn and grow.

PBIS Team Meeting: Shaping a Positive School Culture

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) play a crucial role in fostering a positive and inclusive school environment. This week, our dedicated PBIS team will be meeting to discuss strategies and initiatives that promote good behavior and a sense of community. Together, we continue to shape a school culture where every student feels valued and supported.

Reggie Dabbs Inspires

On Monday, we have a special treat in store for our students and staff. Reggie Dabbs, an inspirational speaker known for his uplifting messages and motivational talks, will be gracing our school. Get ready to be inspired and motivated as Reggie shares his insights on overcoming challenges and embracing a positive mindset. For more information on Reggie Dabs, please click here.

Bear Bucks Store: Wednesday and Thursday

Our Bear Bucks Store opening its doors on Wednesday and Thursday. Students have been earning Bear Bucks for their outstanding behavior and accomplishments. Now, they have the chance to redeem their hard-earned Bear Bucks for a variety of fun and exciting items. It's a fantastic way to reinforce positive behavior and let students enjoy the fruits of their efforts.

Winter Dance on December 1

As we approach the end of the week, mark your calendars for the Winter Dance on Thursday, December 1, from 5-7pm. It's the perfect opportunity for students to come together, celebrate the season, and dance the night away. The Winter Dance promises to be a joyous occasion filled with laughter, music, and festive decorations. We encourage all students to join in the fun and make lasting memories with their friends. Bacon students are free and must be accompanied by an adult (Adults and guests are $2).

Bacon Weekly - November 20 - 24, 2023

Thank you to our Cafeteria Staff for Turkey Feast 

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School)

Last week was a truly epic week at Bacon! We had our annual Turkey Feast for the staff and students. This tradition goes back 40 years and is designed for our Bacon Family to have a Thanksgiving feast together. We had many people visit this year such as our Mayor, Lisa Orndorf, Board of Education members Kim Carty, Mike Whilden and Mike Beatty. We had many people from the Culver Center and District Administration attend. They were all impressed with our Turkey Feast. 

We are so grateful for our cafeteria staff who cooked all of the turkey and fixins. We could not do this event without their help. Also, a big thank you to our staff who donated deserts and helped serve the students. As we always say here at Bacon, we are a big family!

Everyone got into the Turkey Trot Spirit 

Bacon Bears, 

We are BEARS! (Be Excited About Reading in Schools) 

We hope that everyone had a great 4 day weekend! This was a much needed time for a fall break. Prior the break, we had a lot of amazing activities with the Halloween Frolic, Halloween Parade and the annual Turkey Trot. These events are crucial to our school developing a climate and culture dedicated to healthy schools and fun! 

Our Halloween Parade was well attended by our Bacon Families. In addition, we had all of our staff and students participate in the Turkey Trot. The weather was amazing for both events. We really made sure that the kids got out and moving after all of that Halloween candy that they ate. Students at the Turkey Trot ran/jogged/walked for over 30 minutes! 

This week is our last full week of school in November. We are looking forward to our first set of Parent/Teacher Conferences this Friday which is why we have early dismissal at 1:30 PM. Also, be prepared for early dismissals on November 20, 21 and 22 next week.
