Bacon Weekly - 2/23/26 - 2/27/26

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!
