Bacon Bears,

You Matter!

I hope everyone filed their taxes! You have until midnight :)

On Friday, RM Bacon students who were Proficient on the 2012 NJASK were giving a Golden Ticket during homeroom. They reported to the gym at 11:00 AM and were surprised to find out that they would be dining at Golden Corral! For those students taking the NJASK in 2013.... if you are Proficient we will make the same promise! Good luck!
