Bacon Weekly - 5/5-5/9, 2025 - Staff Appreciation Week

Art Show Prep

Bacon Bears

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

May 5th through May 9th, we will be celebrating two important events at RM Bacon Elementary: Staff Appreciation Week and Spirit Week.

Staff Appreciation Week is a time for us to honor and recognize the incredible efforts of our teachers, support staff, and all team members who work tirelessly to support your children every day. Throughout the week, we will have a variety of treats and activities planned to show our appreciation for their dedication.

In addition, Spirit Week will give students and staff a fun opportunity to come together and show their school pride through themed dress-up days. Each day will feature a different theme, and we encourage students to participate and enjoy the celebration.

Spirit Week 

Spring Concert and Art Week

  • 🎵 K–2 Sing-Along – Friday, May 9th at 2:00 PM

Both events are open to parents and families—we hope to see you there to support our amazing students!
