Bacon Weekly - 5/19/25 - 5/23/25

Mr. M working with the students

Bacon Bears, 

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

Thank you all for your continued support and flexibility as we head into the final stretch of the school year!

First, I want to extend a huge thank you to our staff, students, and families for your cooperation during last week’s NJSLA testing for grades 3–5. We’re proud of how hard our students worked and how smoothly everything ran, thanks to the teamwork and positive attitudes from everyone involved. A big shout out to the coordinators, Mrs. Gant and Ms. Sacco for their hard work! 

We also want to acknowledge and thank you for your understanding during the shelter-in-place last week due to the tornado warning. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. As a reminder, when a safety protocol—such as a shelter-in-place or a lockdown—is in effect, we cannot release students or allow anyone to enter or exit the building until the situation is resolved. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during these moments, even when they can feel uncertain or inconvenient.

We have a very exciting week ahead at RM Bacon!

  • Our 1st graders will be heading to the Cape May Zoo for their field trip—an experience full of discovery, fun, and learning!

  • On Wednesday, students will have the opportunity to spend their hard-earned Bear Bucks at our PBIS Bear Bucks Store. It’s always rewarding to see how their positive behavior pays off!

  • On Thursday, we’ll gather for our PBIS Assembly to celebrate the great choices our students have made throughout the month and highlight those who have gone above and beyond.

  • We’ll close out the week with two of our favorite traditions—Olympic Day and Fun Day! These events bring our school community together in celebration, teamwork, and school spirit.

Thank you, as always, for being such an essential part of the Bacon family. Let’s finish the year strong—with positivity, pride, and plenty of smiles! ~ Dr. Cook

Bacon Weekly 5/12 - 5/16, 2025

Mrs. Englehart and the Band

Bacon Bears,

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

Last week at RM Bacon Elementary was filled with celebration, creativity, and community spirit! We kicked things off with a fantastic Staff Appreciation Week, honoring our incredible educators and support staff who go above and beyond every single day. With thoughtful surprises, fun treats, and heartfelt messages, our team felt the love—and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything they do to make Bacon such a special place.

We also had a blast during Spirit Week, where students and staff showed off their Bacon pride in style. Each themed day brought out tons of creativity and enthusiasm, making it a fun and memorable experience for everyone.

Adding to the excitement, we hosted not one, but two amazing performances: our Spring Concert for grades 3–5 and the K–2 Musical! Both events showcased the incredible talents of our students and the joy that music brings to our school. A big thank you to Mrs. Engelhart for her dedication and passion—her work in growing our band and choir programs has truly made a lasting impact on our school community.

Looking ahead, our 3rd through 5th graders will begin the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) this week. We are confident our students will do their best and demonstrate everything they’ve learned this year. Our staff has worked hard to prepare them, and we’re hopeful these efforts will continue to move us forward as we strive to remain out of the NJDOE accountability system.

Let’s keep the momentum going and finish the year strong—together!
