Bacon Weekly - April 8 - 12, 2024

Egg Hunt

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School)

As March comes to a close, we're all gearing up for a well-deserved break here at Bacon Elementary. From March 29 to April 7, we encourage everyone to take this time to unwind, recharge, and most importantly, spend quality time with loved ones.

Before we dive into our break plans, let's take a moment to reflect on the egg-citing events that took place leading up to our hiatus. Our school was buzzing with excitement as we hosted a successful Egg Hunt and engaged in various egg-inspired activities across all classes. It was truly a joy to see our students embrace the spirit of fun and camaraderie.

To cap off our week, we gathered for a memorable PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Assembly. It was heartwarming to witness our students being recognized for their positive behaviors and contributions to our school community. These moments of celebration serve as reminders of the values we hold dear at Bacon Elementary.

As we look ahead to our return on Monday, April 8, we're thrilled to announce an exciting learning opportunity for our students. We've secured enough glasses for everyone to safely observe the upcoming solar eclipse! Our dedicated staff will be guiding students through this rare celestial event, turning it into a unique educational experience. For those curious minds eager to learn more about the eclipse, we've compiled some handy resources tailored to our location in Millville, NJ.
