Who says you can't have a picnic in November? Our fabulous lunch staff says we can! Tomorrow, the kids will enjoy hot dogs, mac'n'cheese, hot ham and cheese, and ice cream sandwiches for the picnic lunch. And there will even be door prizes! Now THAT sounds like a fun day to me.

Bacon Lego Robotics Team!
They competed in a field of 49 teams to achieve their best scores in the robot competition, research project, and a team building exercise.
Both Bacon Bulldogs teams worked very hard to be both competitive and creative. Coaches John Jones and Bryan Landwehr taught the
students how to program a robot, problem solve, and come up with creative ideas to complete required challenges. Julie Trone worked
with the teams to come up with an innovative solution for the First Lego League 2011 theme, 'Food Factor'. Team A chose a solution to
keep cut watermelon fresher longer; Team B chose a solution to keep milk fresher longer. At the competition the judges were very
impressed by the ingenuity and complexity of each teams' solution.
The teams are:
TEAM 'A': Blake Berlin, Nyambura Kimani, Gavin Trone, Tim Valstaad, Cole Perez, and Keller Gonzales
TEAM 'B': Ben Connant, Trevor Merrifield, Jackson Trone, Mason Gomorra, and Liam Flake
We did it!
It never ceases to amaze us here at Bacon when we see the generosity of our school community. And the Turkey Round-Up certainly was no exception! What a great sight... kids running up, ready to hand in their turkey to help the food bank. I actually saw parents and kids hauling 2-3 at a time! We cannot thank our wonderful Bacon community enough. You helped us win again, bringing in over 250 turkeys at a donation of over 4,000 pounds! But more importantly, you helped us give the food bank a chance of making the holiday season a little brighter for families in need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Turkey Round-Up
Hello there, Bacon Community!
We are ready for our annual Turkey Round-Up here at Bacon! As you may remember, this is an amazing opportunity for the community to help stock up the Larimer Food Bank for the upcoming holiday season. AND, as you may know, we are the reigning champions here at Bacon!! We are setting our goal at 210 frozen birds this year, trying to beat our 180 that we collected last year. WE CAN DO IT! Bring a frozen turkey to school the morning of November 15th and the 3rd graders will get them counted, loaded, and brought to the food bank. Simple as that!
Have a great night!
