November 4 - 8, 2019

Bears,

We'd like to thank everyone who came out to our annual Fall Frolic!  It was a great night - the rain stopped long enough for us to get in our yearly tradition, the food was good, the staff was awesome, and everyone left with a smile. 

We've got a shorter but busy month ahead of us.  Be sure to check the upcoming dates for more info.

Also, we've got a ton of pics this week.  Have a look!

A message from Mrs. Candy - Thank you to all the parents and guardians who sent in drink donations this week!  We have enough to cover both the Frolic and the Thanksgiving Feast!  Donations like this allow us to do more for our Bears.

Another big thank you to the 4th United Methodist Church for the donation of school supplies!  Thank you for looking out for our Bears!

Everyone have a great week.

October 28 - November 1, 2019

Bacon Bears,


We hope you enjoyed the weekend.  Here's a thought for you - this was the last weekend of October, and this coming week marks the arrival of November.  It seems impossible, but it's true.  But we've got a little October business to conclude first.

As long as the weather cooperates (and it looks like it will) the Frolic is Tuesday!  Of course, if it does rain we've got our backup day - Wednesday.  Like always, this year's Frolic is sure to be one of our biggest events of the year.  Please note:  If you are coming to the Frolic by car, please do not park in the One Stop plaza parking lot.    

Our costume parade will be on Thursday.  We'll announce the time later this week.

The upcoming November dates have been updated, but please keep checking each week for any additional dates that may be added.

It seems we got caught up on our birthday selfies this week - check out all the great pics!

**Staff, please note - instead of the usual 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, our staff meetings in November will be on the 2nd and 3rd Tuesdays.**  

Everyone have a nice week!

Bacon Bears,

Okay, so you might be wondering why we put a picture of tater tots as our blog cover.  Because Bacon has the best tots around, that's why.  And we wanted you to know! Bacon...tots...Bacon...tots...you can't beat that combo.

Anyway, it was another week of fun-filled adventures here at RM Bacon.  After enjoying last Monday off, everyone was back it again.

The Frolic is coming up, and will be here before you know it!  Make sure you check out the weekly calendar and upcoming dates.

For all who ordered breast cancer shirts - the shirts should be distributed on Monday or Tuesday.

See below regarding our Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. It's been an educational and fun way to sample fruits and veggies native to New Jersey as well as from all over the country.  In addition,  we read some facts about the fruit or veggie of the day during our morning announcements.

Everyone have a nice week!

Bacon Bears,

We hope all our students had a fun four-day weekend, and we equally hope our staff had a great three-day weekend!  On Tuesday, we'll be jumping into another short(er) week, so buckle up - here we go! 

See below regarding our Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.  We are currently in week three of the grant.  It's been an educational and fun way to sample fruits and veggies native to New Jersey as well as from all over the country.  In addition,  we read some facts about the fruit or veggie of the day during our morning announcements.

We are pretty scarce on pictures this week, so we'll try to make up for that next week.  Please check out the calendar and dates below.

Everyone have a nice week!
