We celebrated 100 Days of School! 

Bacon Bears, 

We are BEARS! (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

Last week marked the 100th day of school with great fanfare! It's incredible to reflect on how much our students have grown and learned in just 100 days. We applaud their hard work and dedication, and we look forward to all the amazing achievements yet to come as we continue this academic journey together.

Additionally, we celebrated Valentine's Day with joy and affection. From heartfelt cards to sweet treats, our students spread love and kindness throughout the school. It was a beautiful reminder of the importance of friendship, compassion, and community.

Another highlight from last week was the initiative taken by our first-grade students, who showcased their creativity and commitment to health by preparing delicious and nutritious smoothies for their peers. It was heartwarming to see our youngest learners promoting wellness and making positive choices.

As we transition into this week, we have some important meetings on the horizon. Our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. This is an opportunity for us to come together and continue fostering a positive and supportive school environment for every student.

Additionally, our School Leadership Meeting will take place on Wednesday at 8:15 AM. This meeting will focus on our Cycle 2 data and we will analyze strengths and areas for improvement moving forward. This meeting will be in the Library.
