Bacon Weekly - 3/6 - 3/10, 2023


Bacon Gothic? Everyone pitching in to help 
Bacon Bears, 


We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in Schools) 

We all know the sayings about March but I think we have been getting them wrong all this time! March comes in like a BEAR and goes out like a BEAR! Our staff has been taking time to reset routines with the students. Teachers taking time to reiterate expectations in the classrooms and the hallways. Our philosophy at Bacon is that we must keep teaching and modeling the expectations we seek. 

We had a very successful Read Across America week and a big shout out goes to Mrs. Holliday for organizing the activities and challenges. Our friends a Lakeside came over and did a performance of Moana for our K and 1! This week we will have students from the HS visiting to read with our students. These opportunities for collaboration throughout the district are amazing! 

We have started an initiative at Bacon on everyone taking responsibility for the appearance of our school. On the daily announcements we are reminding students about taking care of trash and their classrooms. Our staff have been identifying areas to improve. We even have a crew working outside to ensure trash is not left on our school! We are so very excited about this! 

Our PTO meeting will be tonight, 3/6/23 at 6 PM in the Bacon Library. Please come out and support the parents as they continue to look for ways to raise money and coordinate activities for our school.

Bacon Weekly - February 27 - March 3, 2023

Jump Rope for Heart 

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS! (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

We will complete February this week and enter in to March. You know what they say? March comes in lion and out like a lamb. We accomplished a lot during February.  Our Jump Rope for Heart was very successful. We beat our goal of $1,500 and ended raising $1,644.77. Ms. Anton's class raised the most money with $230! They will receive a Fruit Pizza courtesy of Ms. Candy! The top 4 students who raised money were Conor McClintok, Violet Richter, Nehemiah Brown, and Nala Brown. These students had lunch with Dr. Cook this past Friday! 

We also want to congratulate Cali Hines, Adrianna Williams and Hope Andrews for a great performance at the All City Concert at Lakeside!

Read Across America

Mrs. Holiday created a Character Scavenger Hunt.

  • There are 10 book characters hidden throughout the school.  These characters will be in places that ALL students visit throughout the week – for example, the art room or library.  Throughout the week, the goal is for students to find the characters.  
  • Each morning, Dr. Cook will also be reading a bookish quote on the announcements and a character to find.  The first three teachers to email Mrs. Holiday the location will receive extra points for the Character Scavenger Hunt – 5 points for the first to email, 3 for the second, 2 for the third.
  • The winning class will get cookies during lunch and their teacher will get an extra 30 minute prep period, provided by Mrs. Holiday! ðŸ˜Š

Room 16 News 
Room 16 launched a project to recognize and spread kindness and so far the third floor has completed and tracked 1,300 small acts of kindness.
