Together, we can.  Together, we will!

Bears,

First, some cool news.  Last week, this blog had over 600 views, the most since I've been principal of this great school.  Whether people are coming here for upcoming events, news of the week, pictures, announcements, or whatever, people keep coming and people keep checking.  I'm sure several of those 600+ views are individuals who visit here more than once to double-check a date or remind themselves of some info.  Whatever the case, that's good news, and it means that what is offered here keeps people coming back.   Staff and Bacon families - that being said, is there anything else you'd like to see featured on the blog?  Leave a comment below or on this Facebook post and let me know.  If it's something that's realistic and it makes sense, we'll take a look at adding it.  Thanks for all the views!

Last week, we had our PBIS assembly.  The theme of the day was respect.  Students and staff were able to share ideas of what respect means to them, and some even gave accounts of when a student or staff member demonstrated respectful behavior.  We then had our challenge of the month: putting together a jack-o-lantern face.  Each player was given a card that featured a face, and all the faces were different.  The challenge was to find pieces (eyes, nose, and mouth) that matched their cards so they could make a matching face.   The pieces were in the middle of the gym, and each player had to find the pieces that matched the face on their card, grab the piece, run across the gym to their pumpkins, and put together a much bigger version of the face on their card.  At the end of the event, the staff played their own round.  All had a great time!

On Tuesday, we had our annual Halloween costume parade.  All the students who wore costumes were able to march around our gym with their classes.  The students had fun showing off their outfits, and the staff had even more fun showing off theirs.

Remember, this is a short week coming up.  Enjoy the three-day school week, and enjoy the four-day weekend.
