There’s something special happening at James E. Bacon Elementary.
Our students are building confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading — one book at a time. This year alone, they’ve read 16,699 books and 31,670,886 words.
Thank you to our teachers, families, and community for cheering them on. Together, we’re growing strong readers. 💙📖
