Spring Break March 29 - April 7

Bacon Bears,

You Matter!

We made it! Spring Break is here. Even though the Spring Break comes at a different time each year, it always seems to occur at the right time! We all need to recharge our batteries, connect with family and return on April 8th ready for the last few months of 2012-13 school year.

Last week, the Bacon Bears had a lot of Egg-tivities since it was the week before Easter. Here is a video (worth the 9 plus minutes) compiled by Mrs. DeVita. In the video, you will see footage from the Students vs. Staff Hockey Game (We won of course), the egg-travaganza, and the Bacon Bears having a goofie, good time! Eggposible is Nothing!




Here are some random pictures from the last week:

We LOVE our new RM Bacon Shirts!

Before we get into this week, lets reflect on last week. We had another tremendous Bear Bucks Store on Friday afternoon. Most importantly, we saw our Office Discipline Referrals for the month of March decrease for the first time in 2013! Thanks to everyone for being safe, responsible, and respectful... Keep up the great work! 

Here is the video that Mrs. DeVita made.What a challenge!

It's beginning to look a lot like Seuss-Ville in our school. We are excited to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday on Monday. We will be hosting High School students as guest readers. In addition to the reading, they will be doing crafts, and other activities. There will be various activities throughout the week to celebrate this awesome author who inspired millions!

Last week, I was able to visit the Holly City Family Center to watch our Kindergartners practice their swimming skills. After only 4 weeks in the water, our little Bacon Bears were very advanced! Here are some of the pictures from the visit!
