Last week was truly an amazing week at Bacon! We were proud to host both the Grades 3–5 Winter Concert and our K–2 Jingle Jam, and each event showcased the incredible talent, hard work, and joy of our students.
A huge thank you goes to Mrs. Englehart for her dedication, determination, and countless hours of rehearsals and practices that led to two wonderful performances. We are so grateful to have such a thriving music program at Bacon. Thank you as well to all of the students who performed, the staff who assisted, and the families who came out to support and celebrate our Bears.
We also held our monthly PBIS assembly, and it was wonderful to see everyone take part in the interactive game and celebrate positive behavior together. During the assembly, we proudly recognized our Students of the Month, Principal’s List, Honor Roll recipients, and Special Area Class Award winners. Congratulations to all of our students who were honored, your hard work and positive choices truly make a difference.
Last week’s Holiday Spirit Week was also a huge success! It was wonderful to see students and staff fully embrace the fun and festive themes each day. The positive energy throughout the building truly added to the excitement of the season. We’ll continue the spirit this week with Candy Cane Day on Monday (wear red and white) and Pajama Day on Tuesday. We can’t wait to see everyone participate!
Reminder that Tuesday, December 23 is an Early Dismissal at 1:30 PM
Enjoy your Winter Break and we look forward to seeing everyone back on January 6, 2025!

This week at Bacon, we are reflecting on a very successful Reading with Santa Night. We had over 200 families participate in an evening filled with stories, a visit with Santa, cookie decorating, and the opportunity to complete our climate and culture survey. Thank you to Mrs. Starcher and Mrs. Lunemann for coordinating this wonderful event, and to all of the staff, students, and families who attended and helped make it so special.
This week is also our Holiday Spirit Week:
Monday: Grinch Day
Tuesday: Christmas Outfit Day

Looking ahead:
