RM Bacon Weekly: June 12

Bears,

This is it! The last week before summer break is here. One final Monday-Friday before we all peel off to our respective summer destinations - some to venture out of state, some to hit the beach over and over and over, some to maybe stay home and contemplate life in the quiet summer heat. I'm sure our little Bears are just as eager to create another season of memories before they dutifully return in September.

Of course, this is our 5th graders final week with us, and we hope they have a memorable and exciting week before heading off into the summer. We wish them well as they embark on a new adventure - middle school. Remember, you'll always be Bacon Bears at heart. Please come back and tell us how you're doing. We love keeping up with our Bears.

This past week, many of our grades enjoyed their class trips - from Ocean City to Cape May to right here in town, the students and staff members had a great time as they celebrated another year come and nearly gone. Check out the pictures below to see what they were up to.

Also, congrats and a shout out to our band for a successful trip to Lakeside last week. Everyone did a great job performing, and Mrs. Rohaly is proud of the work you've accomplished this year. 5th grade band students -- good luck at Lakeside next year. It will truly be the "big stage" for you - a bigger band, a bigger stage, a bigger auditorium, a bigger school, bigger concerts...you'll do great, and you'll have fun.

This week, we have a few events lined up. Second grade is taking their trip to the Phenom Factory in Millville. If you haven't stopped out there yet, make it a point to do so. They've got a cool thing going there.

The 5th grade step-up ceremony will be at Bacon on 6/14 beginning at 4 p.m.

The last day of school will be on 6/16. Student dismissal is at 1:45, so please make arrangements to have your children picked up on time. There is morning latch key, but there is NO AFTERNOON LATCH KEY!

And so, here is the ever-shortening list of upcoming events:

6/13 -- 2nd grade trip to the Phenom Factory

6/14 -- 5th grade step-up ceremony at 4 p.m.

6/16 - Last day of school (and graduation at the senior high school). EARLY DISMISSAL AT 1:45

**Teachers, our final staff meeting of the year will be on Thursday morning.

Next week's blog will wrap up the year and provide info regarding some upcoming changes for next year. It will be bittersweet as we say goodbye to some staff members and welcome others to our family.
