Bacon Bears,

Focusing on today, tomorrow, and the future!

The Bookfair is quickly approaching. If anyone would like to volunteer, they can email patty.banker@millvillenj.gov. Be sure to mention the child's name and your phone number. All volunteers will receive a free #rmbacon T-Shirt! The dates for the bookfair are as follows:

Video of the Week 
Here is Dr. Cook's attempt at doing a Touchcast with a little help from Club 21 students. Thanks to their dedication, Touchcast will flourish! If you are watching this on YouTube, it will not be interactive. Checkout the Touchcast app to interact with video and pictures.
