January 4 - 8

Happy New Year!

We are so excited for 2016! There are going to be so many awesome things in store for RM Bacon in 2016!

In the next few months we will be hosting our 3rd Annual Alumni Night, our first conference (Bacon Bytes Technology and Learning), plus our annual Bingo Night, Fun Day, Olympic Day and many more activities. It will be exciting times to be a Bacon Bear!

Right before the Winter Break, our school had Pajama Day, and Ugly/Cute Sweater Day. Here are some pictures from the week:

December 21- 25

Bacon Bears,

Keys to Character Unlock the Future!

It is hard to believe that this is the last school week in 2015! We have accomplished so much in this calendar year, but we still have plenty of time in the school year! As we enter the Holiday Season, be sure to take time to give thanks.

We have something special planned for each day of this shortened week. Show your school spirit this week and participate in the following:

Monday - Wear Red/Green
Tuesday - Wear your favorite (or ugliest) Christmas Sweater
Wednesday - Wear your favorite Pajamas

In addition, on Wednesday we will be having our annual Sing-A-Long and Movie in the gym. This year we will be adding a new tradition of Go Noodle to support our Healthy School initiative.
