Mrs. Candy with Bacon Friends and Family

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

This week at Bacon, we celebrated Bubbles for Autism with a joyful outdoor event and held an inspiring all-school assembly on anti-bullying, led by former WWE wrestler Chris Hollyfield. Chris shared his powerful message about respect, resilience, and inclusion, leaving a lasting impression on our students. Looking ahead, we’re excited for Pizza Bingo on Tuesday evening at 6 PM, bus evacuation practice during the week, and the Book Fair, which will be open all week during library time.

Congratulations, Mrs. Candy Devich – Citizen of the Year!

Congratulations Mrs. Candy 

We are thrilled to celebrate our very own Cafeteria Manager, Candy Devich, who was recently honored as the Citizen of the Year by the Millville Elks. This well-deserved recognition is a testament to Candy’s unwavering dedication and heart for the Bacon School community.

Candy is truly one of a kind. As the heart of our kitchen—and often the heart of our school—she goes above and beyond each day to care for both students and staff. From serving meals with a smile to organizing special events like holiday celebrations and fundraisers, Candy brings people together and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all. Her compassion, hard work, and positive spirit have made her one of the most beloved members of our Bacon family.

Thank you, Candy, for everything you do—and congratulations on this incredible honor!

Gifted and Talented - Chess Time 
The fifth grade gifted and talented students from all five elementary students did an amazing job playing chess over the last two days at Holly Heights.  The Bacon students did a great job as well.  They had wonderful behavior and displayed exemplary critical thinking / strategy skills. We hope to host a summer chess camp for our GT students so the fun can continue!

Bacon School Fills the Sky with Bubbles for Autism

Bubbles for Autism 

On April 1, 2025, Bacon School students and staff came together for our annual Bubbles for Autism event, spreading awareness, acceptance, and support for individuals with autism. As we stepped outside, the sky quickly filled with bubbles—each one representing kindness, inclusion, and understanding.

It was a beautiful sight to see our school community united in this important cause. Students demonstrated our school values of being safe, responsible, and respectful as they listened to their teachers and participated with enthusiasm.

A huge thank you to all students and staff for making this event so meaningful. Your participation helps reinforce that Bacon School is a place where everyone is valued and supported. Together, we are making a difference! 💙
