Bacon Weekly - May 4 - 8, 2026 - Staff Appreciation Week

Staff vs. Students Hockey Game 

Bacon Bears, 

We are BEARS! Be Excited About Reading in School 

Last week was an amazing fundraising week for the Bacon PTO! Our Pizza Bingo and Silent Auction were a huge success, raising over $2,000 for the PTO. The event was extremely well attended and a great night for our school community.

Our Spring Book Fair was also a tremendous success, with over $3,000 in sales. Students were excited to purchase books and other items throughout the week, and it was wonderful seeing so much enthusiasm for reading.

The PTO Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser was another success. As always, it became very competitive, which helped increase sales. Congratulations to Mrs. Catlett for being this year’s top seller! However, the real winner was the Bacon PTO, as we sold over $3,000 worth of popcorn, resulting in approximately $1,500 raised for our students and school activities.

In addition, the PTO 5th Grade Pretzel Sale was a huge hit. We sold out of pretzels during Pizza Bingo, and the fundraiser continues to support end-of-year activities for our 5th graders.

This week, we also held our annual Staff vs. Students Hockey Game. Of course, the staff came away with an 8-2 victory, but more importantly, it was a fun and memorable experience for our entire school community. We would especially like to thank Mrs. DiGiorgio, as this was her final Bacon Hockey Game before retiring at the end of the school year. The hockey game has always been one of her favorite Bacon traditions, and she will certainly be missed.

We are also excited to celebrate Staff Appreciation Week this week. We are incredibly grateful for all of our staff members and the dedication they show our students every single day. 

We are excited to showcase our K-2 students this Wednesday at 2:00 PM in the Bacon Gym. Parents and families are invited to attend and enjoy the performance by our talented students.

On Friday at 2:30 PM, we will hold a pep rally for students in grades 3-5 as we get them excited and motivated for the upcoming NJSLA Math and Language Arts assessments taking place the week of May 11-15.
