Grade 8 Tour of Bacon Academy

It's hard to believe that it's time for our 8th graders to explore Bacon Academy!  I feel like it was just yesterday that they were coming to us as brand new 6th graders!  On Friday, October 16th,  ALL 8th grade students will go on a tour of Bacon Academy.  Students should take their normal morning buses to Bacon Academy on that day.  Students that don't ride a bus should be dropped off at Bacon Academy at the regular time.  Their teachers will meet them in the auditorium.  Students will leave Bacon Academy by bus at 11:30, and return to WJJMS in time for lunch.  Looking forward to a great day!

Sincerely,

Michelle Yoder Gerow
