Bacon Bears,

It's all about respect!

We are still in high gear at RM Bacon! Even though the year is winding down, we are making the most of this time. Teachers are continuing to assess the students and implementing various projects to continue the learning. In fact, the whole school has become fully informed about Charlie and Chocolate Factory because of the Willy Wonka performance last week! It is always amazing when everyone is going in the same direction!!!!

This week is another busy week. We have a few end of the year field trips (1st, Kindergarten and 3rd) not to mention the Leaders Trip on Friday! We have our 5th Grade Luncheon on Thursday, June 12 at 12:00 PM.

Looking forward to an awesome week at RM Bacon!!!!

Bacon Bears,

Its all about respect!

On Friday, May 30, 2014 RM Bacon was transformed into another era! Our first Annual Alumni Night was a success as we welcomed approximately 130 alumni going all the way back to 1929 when the school opened. This event was sponsored by PRIDE in Education through the NJEA and MEA.

The infamous Bacon Gym that since 1977 has been about the Bears and Blue/White colors, became Maroon and Gold, the school's color for almost 50 years. Alumni enjoyed good food, music, and time to reminisce. There was a video presentation about the Alumni, and one about the current school! Our Alumni are so proud of our current Bears!

Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and we are already preparing for our Second Annual Alumni Night on Friday, May 29, 2015!

Check out the video created by Mrs. Devita:

Bacon Bears,

Its all about respect!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their Memorial Day Weekend. Teachers, if your are looking for resources for your students to understand Memorial Day, I put a few resources together.

This week we will be preparing for our Alumni Night on May 30 at 6:00 PM. As we get closer to the event, the gym will be turned into another world. Students will see the previous school colors (Did you know that the colors were Maroon and Gold?). This event will be very special. For more information, check out our Alumni Night page on our blog.

Last week, the Bacon Bears competed in the 37th annual Olympic Day. Our Bears were as spirited as ever as they marched towards Memorial High School. Once at the competition, our Bears earned many ribbons, but more importantly, they made lasting memories. While the 4th and 5th graders were at Olympic Day, students in K-3 had the time of their life at Fun Day! Thanks to our sponsors for the events: HSA! Also, thanks to everyone who assisted with coordinating the day!!!!!

This week we will be finishing up NJASK Make-ups for any student who was absent. Since the make-ups will be taking place, we will be maintaining our building wide testing plan. After make-ups are completed, we are looking forward to Olympic Day and Fun Day on Friday! Students in grade 4 and 5 will be competing against the 5 other elementary schools in Millville. Students in grade K-3 will be involved in Fun Day! They will have water slides, bouncy houses, and all types of activities for them to just have FUN!
