Bacon Weekly - 9/8 - 9/12, 2025

Welcome Back 

Bacon Bears, 

“We are BEARS – Be Excited About Reading in Schools!”

What an amazing first week of school! We are thrilled to share that this was one of the best openings in recent memory. Our students returned with energy, enthusiasm, and smiles, and our staff worked hard to set the tone for a safe, positive, and successful year ahead.

We kicked things off with our introductory assemblies, where we reviewed our school-wide expectations, the importance of attendance, and our strong commitment to an anti-bullying culture. These first days set the foundation for the months to come, and we couldn’t be prouder of how our Bacon Bears have started the year.

Celebrations & Welcomes

Congratulations to Ms. Sargent, who got married this summer and is now Mrs. Rodriguez! We wish her all the best in this exciting new chapter.
