This week our office hours will be 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM except on Wednesday, July 4th (we are closed in observance of the holiday). I look forward to running my first road race in over 8 years (Pitman 4 Miler) and spending time with my family. Mrs. Klaudi will be on vacation this week. Please be paitent with me as I attempt to run the office :)


Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Send me a picture of your summer vacation!

Bacon Bears,

We can do anything at RM Bacon

Wow, that was a hot week! What did you do to beat the heat?

Despite the high temperatures, I participated in two very awesome events. On Wednesday, I played in the Tidal Wave Golf Tournament to support the girls U10 softball team. The proceeds of the event will help the girls play in Orlando! Although we didn't win the tournament, our team had a lot of fun!

The Fearsome Foursome: Dr. Denning, Dr. Gentile, Mr. Kell and Dr. Cook

On Thursday, I played in the United Way Golf Tournament. This was the hottest day by far. Once again, it was for a great cause. All proceeds go to the United Way of Cumberland County. A big thank you to Dr. Moore for all her work with the United Way, and to Mrs. Nolan and Mrs. Sutton for volunteering!

Send me your photos of your summer break experience.












See what happens when you volunteer? Mrs. Nolan, Ron Jaworski, and Mrs. Sutton
















Building Updates:
The Custodian crew is busy at work. The 3rd floor is quickly being turned upside down! It is interesting what you see when you move some things around. You can see the transformation occurring in room 17.

This used to be in Room 17

Transforming!

Principal for an afternoon, Carol!

Last full week of school! There are a lot of activities planned for this week. We will be having field trips, and many fun events for the teachers and students. The Art Show (6:00 PM) and Spring Concert (7:00 PM) will be on Monday. This will be a very exciting night, and everyone should come out to support the Fine and Performing Arts at RM Bacon. I know this show is going to be amazing. Look for a special guest on cymbals!
