Bacon Weekly - 2/6 - 2/10, 2023

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in Schools) 

We didn't think things could get much better when we were recognized as a NJ School of Character, but we have even more great news to share. This week, the NJDOE released the names of schools who have improved significantly on the NJSLA and Bacon was on the list. 

Therefore, starting next year Bacon will no longer be under the term "comprehensive school." This is such an amazing accomplishment that could not have been done without the support of the parents, community, students and most importantly the teachers! Congratulations!!!! 

In the next few months we will be looking to have a community event to celebrate these amazing accomplishments. In the meantime, we thank you for your support and dedication to being part of the Bacon Family! 

Welcome to the Family - Miss Rockelmann, Technology 

Miss. Rockelmann is our new Technology teacher at Bacon. She enjoys teaching design and coding skills to elementary students. She is excited to teach technology, problem solving, creativity, and critical evaluation skills to our Bacon bears!

Bacon Bears,

Our Philadelphia Eagles are going to the Super Bowl! We hope you all had a chance to watch some football this weekend as Eagles will make the upcoming Super Bowl a memorable one. Similar to going to the Super Bowl, we found out this week that Bacon Elementary is a New Jersey School of Character! This is an amazing distinction but it doesn't stop there! We are now entered into the National School of Character consideration. The National School of Character will be announced in May of 2023. 

Character.org is a worldwide network of educators, researchers, and civic leaders that empowers people of all ages to practice and model the character strengths and core values that shape the hearts, minds and choices of every person. Founded in 1993 and formerly known as the Character Education Partnership, Character.org is widely known for our 11 Principles Framework for Schools: A Guide to Cultivating a Culture of Character. The organization’s vision is to be the global leader and voice for developing character in families, schools, and organizations.

Bacon Weekly - January 16 - 20, 2023

Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Exited About Reading in Schools)

We hope that you had a great three day weekend. Our additional day off was to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who had such a profound impact on our society. In our classes we will take some time to review the contributions of Dr. King. Our students are always searching for their dream and how they will impact our world.

This week, our students will be participating in the NJ Child Assault Prevention program (CAP). This program will help students resolve conflicts, understand bullying, and learn about how to be safe. We are able to offer this program due to a grant and by the dedicated work of the director, Sue Bacon.
