Bacon Bears,

We are BEARS! 

As we turn the page to June, it’s hard to believe how quickly this school year has flown by. While summer is on the horizon, we remain focused on the meaningful moments still ahead. 

At RM Bacon, we don’t just count the days—we make the days count. This final month is filled with excitement, celebration, and reflection, and we are committed to ending strong, together.

We’re proud to share that we have successfully completed NJSLA state testing, and we want to extend a big thank you to Ms. Sacco and Mrs. Gant for their organization, flexibility, and support throughout the process. 

In addition, our Annual School Plan has been submitted for district approval, and behind the scenes, we’ve been working diligently to finalize the master schedule for the 2025-2026 school year. It’s a busy time, but it’s also a rewarding one as we close out this chapter and prepare for the next.

Bacon Weekly - 5/26 - 5/30, 2025

Mr. Sooy and Bears

Bacon Bears, 

We are BEARS! (Be Excited About Reading in School) 

Thank You for an Incredible Olympic Day and Fun Day!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our entire RM Bacon community for making Olympic Day and Fun Day such a huge success last week! From the early morning preparations to the cheers along the parade route, every detail came together to create an unforgettable day for our students.

These events take a great deal of planning, teamwork, and dedicationand we are so grateful to our staff, volunteers, and families for making them happen. Most importantly, the kids had an amazing time, and that’s what it’s all about!

Memorial Day – No School Monday

A quick reminder that there will be no school on Monday, May 26 in observance of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend—it’s a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It’s a moment for reflection, gratitude, and teaching our children about the importance of service, sacrifice, and the freedoms we enjoy every day.

We hope you’ll take a moment to pause with your families and talk about what this day truly means.

Upcoming Field Trips

We’re keeping the excitement going this week with a couple of field trips:

  • ThursdayOur 3rd grade students will be heading out for their adventure!

  • FridayOur Kindergarteners will get their turn to explore and have fun.

Be sure to check permission slips, pack accordingly, and let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you again for being part of what makes RM Bacon such a special place. Let’s finish the school year strong—with heart, kindness, and pride in all we’ve accomplished together.
