October 2 - 6, 2017




Together, we can.  Together, we will!

Bears,

September is behind us, and summer is officially way back there in the rear view mirror - sorry, summer lovers.  We are entering my favorite time of year, and I'm excited to see what October brings to Bacon.  The Fall Frolic will be taking place later this month, so stay tuned for news there.

October's trait-of-the-month is respect. All month, we'll be touching on various aspects of what this means.  Staff, remember to try to send me your quotes, and don't forget to revisit responsibility throughout the month with your classes.

Everyone have a fally, Octobery week,

Mike


Weekly Recap
Our 5th grade classes had their annual "Kids by the Bay" trip to the Port Norris/Bivalve area last week.  They learned a little bit of local history and took in some nature along the way.  Mrs. Muhlbaier, Mrs. Catlett, and Mr. D reported their students behaved excellently.  Great job, students!

On Thursday, we held our first PBIS Pep Rally of the year.  After talking about some school-related business and reviewing our trait of the month for September (perseverance), we got down to business with our minute-to-win-it style game.  Students who received Paws Ups (our "caught being awesome" slips) were entered into a bin and randomly drawn to participate in the game.  The month's challenge was to race across the gym on a seat scooter, grab a bean bag or a ball, and race back and place it in a ring on the ground.  Winners received prizes, and all the other students who participated also got a prize.
