Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS (Be Excited About Reading in School)

Last week was a short but memorable week. Our Bears were excited about the Phillies and they showed their support. We had a successful Fire Drill and we continued to plan for the upcoming Halloween Frolic.

This week we are participating in Digital Citizenship Week. Each day students and staff can participate in the dress up opportunities and understand the purpose of the week. It is important for all of us to talk with kids about how important being a good Digital Citizen.

We hope that everyone had an incredible extended weekend. Our staff used the Professional Development Day on Friday to learn more about their content areas, PBIS, and Social and Emotional Learning. Our staff is committed to lifelong learning and always improving! 

This week parents should be on the lookout for Progress Reports. Can you believe that we are halfway through the first marking period? Yes, this school year is flying by! Our students have Picture Day on Tuesday and on Wednesday we are hosting German exchange students and teachers. We are excited about learning from our visitors! 

Fresh Fruit and Veggie Grant

This week, thanks to our Fresh Fruit and Veggie grant, Bacon School students were able to try "Moon Drop Grapes" in our fruit trays! Moon Drop grapes are so delicious and should start appearing in your local produce isle! They are very sweet and our Bacon Bears loved them! If you see them in the store, be sure to grab a bag!  Ms. Candy, Cafeteria Manager

We want students to respect themselves, other students and staff. Once we can do this, we can achieve anything!
