November is the month of Gratitude 

Bacon Bears, 

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

Last week at Bacon, we continued spreading positivity and gratitude! Students wrapped up the BIMAS assessments, created heartfelt cards for our Month of Gratitude, and participated in PAWS Up activities and classroom events that celebrated kindness and community.

This week, we’re diving into some of our most cherished traditions!

🍂 Turkey Feast
On Thursday, we’ll hold our annual Turkey Feast with two seating's for students. This special event allows students to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal alongside their teachers and classmates, creating wonderful memories and building a sense of community.

🏃 Turkey Trot
Also on Thursday afternoon, students will get moving with our annual Turkey Trot! This fun event is a great way to promote fitness and camaraderie. Both the Turkey Feast and Turkey Trot are student-only activities.

🐻 PBIS Updates
As part of our PBIS program, we’re excited to host our Bear Bucks Store on Wednesday, where students can redeem their hard-earned Bear Bucks for fun rewards. On Friday, we’ll wrap up the week with our monthly PBIS assembly to celebrate student achievements and reinforce the positive behaviors that make Bacon a great place to learn and grow!

🍔 Dine to Donate at Outlaw’s Burger Barn
Join us Wednesday evening from 4:00 to 8:00 PM at Outlaw’s Burger Barn (1370 S. Main Rd, Vineland) to support our playground renovations! Mention "Dine to Donate for Bacon School," and a portion of the proceeds will go directly toward this exciting project. Phone orders are also honored at 856-691-5438—be sure to mention Bacon School when you call!

📆 PTO Meeting
Our PTO Meeting is this Thursday at 5:30 PM. We hope to see many of our families there as we discuss ongoing and upcoming initiatives to support our school.

Thank you for your continued support of Bacon School. Let’s make it another great week!

Mrs. Workman and Monica Headley supporting Veterans 

Bacon Bears, 

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

Welcome back, Bacon Bears! We hope everyone enjoyed the extended four-day weekend, thanks to the NJEA conference. We’re excited to dive into another meaningful week as we continue our journey through November with a focus on gratitude.

Our students have been busy making a difference by showing appreciation to our Veterans. In honor of their service, Bacon students wrote over 200 heartfelt cards, which were proudly presented to Texas Roadhouse Manager, Monica Headley, by Mrs. Workman. This project has allowed our students to reflect on the importance of gratitude and to express it in a way that connects them with those who serve our country.

This week also marks an important step in understanding the well-being of our 3rd to 5th-grade students. They will be participating in the BIMAS (Behavior Intervention Monitoring Assessment System), which helps us gain insight into how they’re feeling and offers a foundation to support their social and emotional growth. This assessment will enable our staff to better meet their needs and continue fostering a caring and supportive environment at Bacon.

As we move forward, let’s continue building our culture of gratitude and growth. Here’s to another wonderful week of learning, connecting, and supporting each other!

Warm regards,

The Amazing Spiderman was at the Frolic

Bacon Bears, 

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

We’re coming off a fantastic week filled with Halloween spirit, community engagement, and plenty of smiles. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Halloween Frolic! With over 400 people in attendance, it was a spectacular night of celebration and fun. From the energetic dance floor to delicious treats, creative trunks, and a spooky haunted walk, there was something for everyone. Seeing our students, staff, and families come together to make memories was heartwarming. We’re grateful to all the volunteers who helped make this event possible!

Our Halloween Parade was another highlight. Students dressed up in their favorite costumes and paraded proudly around the school for an enthusiastic crowd of staff, families, and friends. The creativity and spirit displayed by the kids (and even some staff members!) added an extra layer of joy to our Halloween celebrations.

Looking ahead, we have a short week coming up, as school will be closed on Thursday and Friday for the NJEA Convention. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend, whether you’re heading to the convention or spending some extra time with family.

Let’s make the most of this week, even if it’s a short one. Thank you all for your continued support and dedication to our school community.
