Bears,

It was a...magical...week at Bacon.  On Thursday, we welcomed Ken the Magician to our school.  He did an early afternoon show for our students that focused on character education, and he returned in the evening to give our students and parents a free show that focused on reading and the importance of getting an education.  The students were hooked and entertained, and Ken used slight-of-hand and story telling to convey powerful truths about the importance of being a kind and respectful person as well as being a hard worker who doesn't quit.  I'd like to thank Barb Lore, Amanda DeVita, Patti Banker, Dina Klaudi, Laurie Polof, Nancy Quay, and Maggie Colina for their hard work and assistance in making this show possible. 


This past week, we began our Breakfast in the Classroom program.  The early feedback has been largely positive.  Our staff has been flexible and accommodating, and Candy Devich and her cafeteria crew have been arriving early to get the job done.  Thanks also goes to Joe Rowland, our district's food services manager, for his help.  So far, it's been going well, and the few questions that have come up have been addressed.  Parents, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact the school.  I'd also like to give a shout-out to our student helpers who arrive faithfully each morning to help deliver the breakfasts each morning.  Great job, Bears!




Is nor'easter number four on the way?  The early reports are we'll get something, but who knows.  By sometime on Monday, we'll probably have a better idea.  That being said, it looks like no matter what falls from the sky (snow, rain, a combo?), Tuesday and Wednesday might be messy.  Staff, parents, and students -- watch the forecast and plan accordingly!

Everyone have a nice week.  Spring Break is just around the corner.  Well, maybe it's around two corners, but it's not too long before everyone gets a well-deserved break!!
