Bacon Bears,

Focusing on Today, Tomorrow, and the Future!

The summer is progressing nicely. I am sure everyone is thinking "Where is the summer going? Its almost August!" That is why you have to make every day count!

The custodian crew is in the midst of cleaning and preparing the office level floor. There have been some major changes to the front office, but we will wait to show the pictures until the project is completed. Stay tuned for more details!

Bacon Bears,

Focusing on today, tomorrow and the future! Yes, we have our new theme. The teachers selected this theme above the 8 other selections. I think this was selected because it is truly what we aspire to do everyday at RM Bacon. I am excited to see how this theme will guide us this year!

We have a lot of awesome projects going on at the school this summer. As we update the learning environment, I can see the progress of the classroom set up, hallways, and front office. Our custodians have the 3rd floor classrooms set up and ready for teachers to visit. Their next area of focus is on the Office Level Floor. 

Check out our newest sidebar "Summer Learning" designed by Mrs. Mackall. Students and parents can use the link to find summer learning activities for each grade. Make sure you are ready for the new year! It is coming soon!

I asked the teachers to submit pictures from their summer adventures. Here is the first batch of photos I received... Be sure to keep them coming!

Bacon Bears,

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation!

We have been making a lot of progress this summer! The custodians have been hard at work preparing the classrooms. At this point, all of the hardwood floors on the 3rd floor have been refinished. Currently, they are putting all the materials back into the classrooms. We should be able to give the "all clear" on the 3rd floor soon.

Bacon Bears,

We hope you enjoyed your 4th of July weekend! We surely did!

The school is continuing its summer transformation. Most classroom contents are still in the hallway while classrooms are being prepped. This year all heaters are being cleaned, and checked. All of the hallways have a fresh coat of paint, and are looking great!
