RM Bacon Weekly: February 25

Bears,

It was a shortened week on days but not on learning and engagement. After the holiday on Monday and the snow day on Wednesday, we managed to get down to business the remaining three days.

If you recall in last week's blog, we asked if you thought the snow forecast this week would be a hit or miss. Well, it was a hit (in more ways than one?) We hope you had a fun, safe snow day. What do you think - was that the last one for the year?

Weekly Recap

Tuesday night was Bacon Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A! We'd like to thank all the families and staff members who dropped by, ate, hung out, and supported our school. It was a fun night, and we got a percentage of all meals purchased. That's a win-win. Thank you all!

Announcements

On Monday night, the district will honor the teacher-of-the-year and educational-services-provider-of-the-year winners. Once again, congrats to Barb Lore and Patti Banker on being Bacon's winners! Well-deserved!

On Tuesday morning, Beth Benfer, district PD specialist and all-around AVID expert, will be here at Bacon for 5th grade AVID recruitment. For those who don't know, AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, and it's a program designed to help students succeed in middle school, high school, and college.

Our monthly PBIS assembly will be on Thursday, 2/28. As always, we're looking forward to a good time. I wonder what challenge Ms. Berry has cooked up for us? Also at the assembly, we'll be honoring 2nd marking period achievements and more.

Our Wawa hoagie sale is still on. See below, and feel free to call the school with any questions.

Here's an announcement from our cafeteria manager, Ms. Candy:

Ms. Candy is looking to turn the cafeteria into the "The Bacon Bear Hall of Fame!" Please send a picture of your athlete, dancer, musician, gamer, or whatever they do that they love doing. A 4x6 or larger would be best. If you don't have one that size, send it and I'll make a copy. If you'd like to email it, send it to candace.devich@millville.org. I'm looking forward to showcasing our Bears' accomplishments!

Everyone have the best week ever!!!

February Trait-of-the-month: Trustworthiness

Trustworthiness quote-of-the-week: "Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters." Albert Einstein
