Bears,
It was an awesome week here at RM Bacon. So much to cover - let's get to it.
On Monday, Bacon hosted our annual Holiday Concert starring the 4th and 5th grade band and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade chorus. The band performance featured selections that highlighted various instrument sections, and they concluded with a number that involved the whole band. From there, the chorus belted a number of holiday-themed tunes. The enthusiastic Mr. Trout conducted his performers with gusto and confidence, and it was a night none will soon forget. Way to go, Bacon band and chorus. We already can't wait for the spring concert.
Also, a huge thanks to Ms. Peck for her decorative touch in the gym. The winterscape set the scene and atmosphere for the event, and her artistic touch made the place cozy and bright. Ms. Peck, thank you for making our school look so good!
Tuesday night saw our annual Trim-A-Tree set up shop here at the school. This year's party featured ornament making, cookie decorating, hot chocolate, and a holiday store. We even had visits from an elf who claimed to absolutely not be Ms. O'Neill and a Santa Clause who looked suspiciously like Mr. Trout. All who came were treated to a great night. Let's do it again next year?
Also this week, a number of our students were able to go to Cumberland County College for a special holiday event that featured toys, Santa, eats and treats, and just plain fun. We'd like to thank the fine people at CCC who organized the event on their end. We'd also like to thank Mrs. Scull and Ms. Berry for pulling it together on this end. The kids who went had a great time, and they represented our school well!
On Friday, students from our school attended the annual Coats for Kids event at the New Jersey Motorsports Track in Millville. We'll have pictures posted next week!
Also on Friday, we recognized our Teacher of the Year and Educational Services Provider of the Year. The teacher award went to Barbara Lore, and the Services Provider went to Patti Banker. Both ladies do so much for the school, it would be impossible to list it all here. Let's just say Barb is a quiet, unsung hero around these parts, and Patti would do anything for anybody at the drop of a hat. Congrats to both on your well-deserved honor! You are loved and appreciated.
That will do it for this week. Be sure to check out the Week Ahead section. Our final week of the 2018 calendar year will be a full one. It always seems the holidays don't arrive without a final burst of busyness. Everyone have an excellent pre-break week of school!
