Recently, students participated in “Jump Rope for Heart” during all physical education classes to raise awareness and funds to fight heart disease and stroke. Our Bancroft Elementary School community came together to raise a grand total of $10,037.15! Students showed their support by wearing red or pink while rotating through fun jumping activities. After the stations, students snacked on fruit donated by our fabulous PTO. Students were encouraged to keep eating healthy and giving their heart a workout to ensure they stay heart disease-free.

Bancroft first grade students from A-5, Mrs. Peterson’s class, had the best library media center book return percentage for the month and won a five minute ‘all they could carry’ book exchange last week. Students had five minutes to select as many library books as they could carry to recognize their exceptional responsibility for returning library books on time. The students had a fantastic time selecting many different types of books to read.

Every fall and spring a group of first and second grade students gather together after school to participate in Bancroft Elementary School’s Jump Rope Club. This club promotes physical activity and cooperation while encouraging fun. The fall session was a huge success. Students learned the basics of how to jump rope, as well as more complex skills and tricks. Each week the students learn something new such as partner jumping, group jumping, and Chinese jump rope. There was so much interest in for Jump Rope Club this year that the spring session is already full with students who were not able to participate in the fall. Thank you to Cory Hogan who was Mrs. Stacey Hoernig’s honorary assistant this past session. Mrs. Hoernig looks forward to working with a new group of students this upcoming spring!
