Bacon Weekly - March 10 - 14, 2025

Thank you to our coordinators of the Read A Thon! 

Bacon Bears, 

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

Last week, our school came alive with the joy of reading as we celebrated Read Across America (Bacon)! From our spirited theme days to the inspiring guest readers, it was a week filled with excitement and a shared love for books.

The highlight of the week was our Read-A-Thon, and thanks to our incredible students, families, and supporters, we raised an impressive $5,705! These funds will go directly toward making Fun Day an unforgettable experience for all of our students.

We want to give special recognition to our top Read-A-Thon earners:
📖 K-2 Top Earner: Journey Hamilton
📖 3-5 Top Earner: Nicholas Gonzalez
📖 Honorable Mention: Isabella Scythes
📖 Winning Class: Mrs. Lunemann and Mrs. Banker’s class!

A huge thank you goes to Mrs. Lunemann, Mrs. Banker, and Mrs. Starcher for organizing this fantastic event. Because of their dedication, every student had the opportunity to participate and experience the joy of reading together.

We also extend our gratitude to the community members who took time to visit and read to our students. Your support helps foster a lifelong love of reading. A special shout-out to Legacy Lanes and Colonial Florist for their generous sponsorship!

Thank you to everyone who played a role in making Read Across America (Bacon) a success! Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to inspire a passion for reading in our students every day.

Congratulations but sad to see you go 


We would also like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Goldspiel (Mrs. G.), who has been our Building-Based Substitute this year. 

Her dedication, flexibility, and support have made a tremendous impact on our school community. While we are sad to see her go, we are incredibly proud and excited for her as she takes on a new role as a 7th-grade science teacher at Lakeside Middle School

Thank you, Mrs. G., for all you have done for our students and staff—we wish you the very best in this next chapter!

Read Across Bacon 2025 - March 3 -7, 2025

1st Grade Author Celebration 

Bacon Bears

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

We have an action-packed week planned as we not only transition into March, but it is also Read Across America! This is such an exciting time for our school because we place a high emphasis on reading. In addition, our BEARS Read A Thon has been raising money for the past few years to fund our Fun Day! Be sure to get those donations rolling. 

1st Grade Authors' Celebration
Thank you to our 1st grade teachers who held their annual Authors' Celebration. All first grade students research their favorite animal and wrote a book about it. Then, we invited the parents to come and listen to the Authors' read their first book. So cool! Thank you to all the parents who showed and for the 1st grade teachers to plan such an amazing event! 

PBIS 
Last week we had our PBIS Assembly. This one was special, and a shout out goes to Ms. Berry for having every student participate in the activities. This is no easy task and one that should be commended!

Chronic Absenteeism 
On February 26, 2025, I attended our monthly Admin Meeting with Dr. Mazzoni. We met at and toured the Child Family Center. The focus of our meeting was to work on refining our approach to Chronic Absenteeism in the district.  We will be using this data and the focused questions at our March Staff Meeting. Check out the current numbers for the district and information on how you can help  here at Bacon (Click Here)
