Bacon Academy
   First Day
What is ﬁrst day?
 On the ﬁrst day of school instead of having a full day of
 classes we try to have a jam packed day full of fun!
 This is a very special tradition because instead of
 shoving the new freshman into a busy work-ﬁlled day
 we show them just how fun Bacon Academy is. We are
 actually coming close to 25 years of this celebration!!!
 Students run through each of their classes for a very
 short period and than all head down to the auditorium
 for the ﬁrst pep rally of the year.
