Hello all,

Although this week has been full of rain and gray skies there is always much to celebrate throughout MPS. Just to mention a few: the Marching Band was back at it preparing for a trip to Wildwood. MPS’s own Ms. Tymkiw was victorious during her first round of Jeopardy making it into the semifinals. The Lady Bolts softball team defeated Atlantic City to land the #2 seed in the NJSIAA playoffs (due to weather first round set for 5/21). Christian Bird will represent MPS as he joins Charleston Southern University in the Fall. Lastly, last week Alexis Harrison won gold in the shot put and discus during the 2018 Cumberland County Track & Field Championships.

There is always something exciting happening in BOLT Country! Rain or shine, the Bolts stand out. Hope everyone has an amazing weekend! Let’s hope the forecast is inaccurate and the sun finds its way through.



SHOUT-OUTS

"Bacon school would like to give a shout out to our principal Mike Coyle for making our entire staff feel extra appreciated and extra special during teacher appreciation week. He goes above and beyond to create a positive work environment. He is our biggest cheerleader and we appreciate everything he does."
~Bacon Staff 

"Wanted to send positive praise for Ilia DeJesus, paraprofessional with Lida Stroup's classroom. Ilia has graciously volunteered her time, in school and home, to translate our updated immunization exclusion letters in Spanish. Ilia has also volunteered to create a global in Spanish for those students who are non-compliant with immunizations and have Spanish speaking parents."
~Spike Cook, Principal

"I would like to thank Kristin McManus for all of her hard work and dedication to our school .  She has gone above and beyond with balancing all of her responsibilities as well as being an active part of the school community with our students."
~Stephanie DeRose, Principal

"A Bacon shout out to Debbie Markel for being such a positive influence on our students and staff here at Bacon. She is quick with a kind word or compliment, and she consistently puts others first. From greeting the students with a smile in the morning to doing whatever it takes to help our Bacon Bears, she does it with generosity and warmth. Thank you, Debbie!"
~Mike Coyle, Principal

"A Big Shout Out to Ginger Wheeler and her two Paraprofessionals, Miranda Pasquale and Maria Conigliaro who work in an inclusion three year old classroom providing individualized instruction and strengthening social emotional skills of three year old children.  They focus on positive behavioral support and continual compassion to help the children and their families.  She thoroughly plans interesting investigative studies that allow for various levels of learning."
~JoAnn Burns, Principal

"A big shout out to Steve Matusz, our new director of special education. In the short time since stepping in for now retired Nora Zelinski, Steve has used his endless energy to visit countless MPS programs and classrooms. In addition, he has traveled to see any of the out of district placements any of our students are assigned to. There is no better way to evaluate something – see it for yourself! From what I see so far, Mr. Matusz is putting his all into learning about our students’ needs as well as looking for ideas to improve our program offerings. I am confident that he will continue to grow and learn in his new position. Furthermore, I am certain he will do everything he can to be a student advocate as well as a champion for our special education staff!"
Keep up the great work!
~David Gentile, CSA
