March 11 - 15, 2019

Bears,

RM Bacon Elementary School was all Dr. Seuss'd up this week.  From theme days to crazy looking food in the cafeteria, many of our staff members and students got in on the fun.  The focus on reading continues with our Celebrate Reading event at Bacon on March 18.  Flyers will be sent home next week.

Weekly Recap

To build on the national Read Across America Day, we celebrated for a whole week!  From Monday to Friday, every day had it's own theme - from socks to wacky clothing, many of our Bears participated.  It was fun seeing people go all out in support of reading.  Classroom teachers gave their lessons a Seuss twist (see a few of the pics below). In all, it was a fun week full of fun ways to promote reading awareness.

Announcements

 - On Tuesday, grades 3-5 progress reports go home.

 - St. Patrick's Day is Sunday, March 17th.  We are going green on Friday, March 15th.

 - Friday is a 1:45 dismissal for staff PD.

 - 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!

PBIS Corner
March character-trait-of-the-month: fairness.  Some examples of fairness include playing by the rules, taking turns and sharing, being open-minded and listening to others, and treating all people fairly.

Fairness quote-of-the-week:  "Win or lose, do it fairly." - Knute Rockne.  When things don't go your way (and that will happen - a lot), do you approach each situation with a sense of fairness for all involved? For yourself?  

Staff, remember your why!
