Happy Birthday, Mr. Bacon!

Evidently it's Mr. Bacon's birthday! Will's class spent time yesterday making him cards. According to Will, this is how his card read: "Mr. Bacon, you are the best principal in the great state of Iowa! P.S. How old are you anyway?" This is really funny to me because I totally know why he wrote this. Mr. Bacon has a routine of things that he says during morning announcements and such and one of the things he's known for saying is something like, "If we all work together we can make Lemme Elementary the best school in the great state of Iowa!" So now "the great state of Iowa" has become this catch phrase! Also, like I've said before, every good letter/card/note HAS to have a "P.S.!" In the above picture, Mr. Bacon is on the right. He is standing with Arthur Lemme, Helen Lemme's grandson, who recently brought his family to visit the school.
