Winter Dance 2023

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

We hope this post finds you well and cozy as we dive into the heartwarming events that unfolded at our school over the past week. We had a tremendous assembly by renown speaker, Reggie Dabbs as we well as the Winter Dance. This week we have the Winter Concert and Book Fair! 

The Winter Dance, a highlight of the season, saw over 150 attendees, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. The PTO did an amazing job of coordinating the event and thank you to staff who volunteered to chaperone and assist.  Students of all grades hit the dance floor, showcasing their best moves and reveling in the camaraderie that defines our school. At the end of the Dance, we had students leading a sing a long and showing how well they know the popular songs! Thank you to DJ Jeff Braxton for his DJ skills. 

Winter Concert 

This week, our school is gearing up for another exciting event – the Winter Concert on Tuesday at 6 PM. The concert will feature the chorus of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, with the 4th and 5th grades also showcasing their musical talents in the band. We are looking forward to seeing how much the kids have learned this year under the leadership of Mrs. Englehart. 

Before and after the Winter Concert, the Book Fair will be open, providing an opportunity for parents and students to explore a world of literature. This added dimension to the event promises an enriching experience for everyone involved, fostering a love for reading within our school community.

Our school community thrives on the positive energy generated by the gratitude of students, teachers, and parents alike. Let's continue to cultivate an atmosphere of appreciation and acknowledgment for the wonderful individuals who make RM Bacon Elementary a special place to learn and grow.

Thank you to our Cafeteria Staff for Turkey Feast 

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School)

Last week was a truly epic week at Bacon! We had our annual Turkey Feast for the staff and students. This tradition goes back 40 years and is designed for our Bacon Family to have a Thanksgiving feast together. We had many people visit this year such as our Mayor, Lisa Orndorf, Board of Education members Kim Carty, Mike Whilden and Mike Beatty. We had many people from the Culver Center and District Administration attend. They were all impressed with our Turkey Feast. 

We are so grateful for our cafeteria staff who cooked all of the turkey and fixins. We could not do this event without their help. Also, a big thank you to our staff who donated deserts and helped serve the students. As we always say here at Bacon, we are a big family!
