Bacon Weekly - March 2 - March 6, 2026

Science at Bacon

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS! Be Excited About Reading in School

We had an incredible week at Bacon!

Our PBIS Assembly brought the entire school together for a fun and engaging “Snowball” activity that had students laughing, moving, and working as a team. It was a wonderful way to reinforce positive behavior while building school spirit. We also proudly recognized our Students of the Month and presented our prestigious Golden Specials Awards, congratulations to all of our honorees for demonstrating what it means to be a Bacon Bear!

A huge shout out to our First Grade Team for hosting their annual Author’s Celebration. Families were invited in to see their child’s very first published book. There is nothing more powerful than watching our young writers beam with pride as they share their work. Thank you to our teachers and families for making this event so special.

Read Across America Week is Here!

We are gearing up for one of our favorite weeks of the year, Read Across America! We have a full lineup of themed days to celebrate the joy of reading:

Monday: Hats Off to Reading
Tuesday: Superhero Shirt
Wednesday: Neon Colors
Thursday: Favorite Shirt
Friday: Pajama Day

Our culminating event is our signature fundraiser, the BEARS Read-A-Thon! This is one of our biggest PTO events of the year, and we encourage all families to continue collecting donations and supporting our school.

Current Read-A-Thon Leaders:

🥉 3rd Place: Mrs. Smith
🥈 2nd Place: Mrs. Taylor
🥇 1st Place: Mrs. DiGiorgio

Let’s keep the momentum going and see if anyone can shake up the leaderboard! Every dollar raised supports events, activities, and resources for our students.

Thank you, Bacon families, for your continued support. Let’s make it a fantastic week of reading!

100th Day of School

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS! Be Excited About Reading in School

We had a fantastic week last week at Bacon, We are 100 days Smarter!!

We celebrated our 100th Day of School, and our teachers and staff fully embraced the fun by dressing up for the occasion. It was a great way to mark 100 days of learning, growth, and hard work by our Bacon Bears!

We also hosted our Jump Rope for Heart event. Our students jumped, played, and most importantly, helped raise money for the Kids Heart Challenge. It was wonderful to see so much energy and enthusiasm while supporting such an important cause.

Attendance Challenge Update

Congratulations to our weekly attendance winners:

1st Place – Mrs. Catlett’s Class – 96%
2nd Place (Tie) – Mrs. Taylor & Mrs. DiGiorgio – 95%
3rd Place (Tie) – Mrs. Starcher, Mrs. Gandy, Miss Powers, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Lunemann

We have three more days left in February, so make them count! It is truly anyone’s game to win the February Attendance Challenge. Let’s finish strong!

Celebrating Our Scholars

Last week, we also honored our Honor Roll and Principal’s List students with a special Ice Cream Social. These scholars were treated to ice cream and celebration in recognition of their hard work and dedication. We are so proud of their accomplishments!

BEARS Read-A-Thon is Back!

We are officially kicking off our fundraising efforts for our wildly successful BEARS Read-A-Thon, taking place on March 6.

Last year, we raised over $5,000 for our PTO! These funds help ensure that our end-of-year Fun Day is as amazing as possible for all of our students.

This year’s theme is… Under the Sea!
We cannot wait to dive into reading together!

Thank you for your continued support of our Bacon Bears!
