8th Graders to Tour Bacon - 10/20

Dear Grade 8 Parents/Guardians:

On Monday, October 20th, all of our 8th grade students will be going to Bacon Academy to have a tour of the high school and learn more about their programs. 8th graders will take their regular morning bus to school, however, they will get off at Bacon Academy. Their teachers will be there to meet them. If your student will not be taking the bus to school that morning, please plan to drop them off at Bacon Academy at the regular time. The tours will end at approximately 10:50, and we will have buses meet us at Bacon to take the 8th graders back to WJJMS.

Thank you!

Michelle Yoder Gerow & Amber Merwin
