Bacon Bears, 

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

Student Council Fundraiser at Chick Fil A

We are thrilled to announce the success of our recent Student Council fundraiser at Chick Fil A! Thanks to your support, we were able to raise a total of $1425.56 in sales. This incredible achievement wouldn't have been possible without the enthusiasm and generosity of our Bacon community.

As a result of our efforts, we will receive a 10% donation from Chick Fil A, amounting to $145 for our school. This contribution will not only benefit our school but also help supplement the Free Little Library project. Your participation has made a significant impact, and we are deeply grateful for your support.

Bacon BEAR Read-A-Thon: March 8, 2024

Mark your calendars for an exciting upcoming event - the Bacon BEAR Read-A-Thon! Scheduled for March 8, 2024, this event promises to be a fun and enriching experience for our students.

During the Read-A-Thon, we are inviting all students to participate in reaching their fundraising goals. Each student has received a packet explaining the Read-A-Thon and outlining their fundraising objectives. We encourage parents and guardians to support their children in this endeavor.

All proceeds from the Read-A-Thon will directly contribute to the cost of Fun Day in May. Our goal is to collect donations that will cover expenses such as waterslides, pools, snacks, and crafts for this exciting event. Your contributions will ensure that Fun Day is a memorable and enjoyable experience for all our students.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Bacon community for coming together to support the Read-A-Thon. Your involvement and generosity are instrumental in making this event a resounding success. Together, we can make a difference and create lasting memories for our students.

Thank you for your continued support and participation. Let's make the Bacon BEAR Read-A-Thon a roaring success!

March Movement with Eager 2 Run (E2M)

Our Healthy Schools committee is excited to announce our participation in the March Movement through Eager 2 Run (E2M)! We encourage all students and staff to join us in this initiative by incorporating walking into your daily routine.

Starting March 1st, the Eager 2 Run Club will be embarking on a "Million Miles March" with the goal of accumulating 1,000,000 miles of walking and running throughout the month. This challenge is open to individuals of all fitness levels and ages, and it aligns with World Obesity Day on March 4th.

Let's take action towards a healthier lifestyle and join the nationwide movement for physical activity! This challenge also serves as preparation for National Walking Day on April 3rd and our World Record Attempt 5k on April 6th.

We are proud to be one of over 25 schools participating in this initiative, and we look forward to seeing our students and staff up and moving! Remember to bring your sneakers every day and join us in making strides towards better health.
