Bancroft Elementary School students were treated to a theater presentation by the Enchantment Theatre Company. Performers acted out the story The Fisherman and His Wife. This tale shows how a poor fisherman discovers a fish that grants wishes. His wife yearns to advance in life and become richer but soon learns that the love of her family is more valuable than riches and power. Students also learned how the actors became interested in acting.

Bancroft Elementary School’s chorus, under the direction of music teacher, Mr. Ben Green, performed a dress rehearsal for the entire student body and staff. This rehearsal allows the musicians to practice for the performance that night. The group sang the songs they had been practicing along with the instrumentalists playing along. The student audience was extremely respectful, responsible, safe, and being the best they could be during the entire performance.

On Thursday, May 3, Mrs. Sara Simasek’s students participated in the Southern Chester County Special Olympics. The weather was picture-perfect as the Kennett Consolidated School District’s Olympians boarded the bus wearing their T-shirts and excited smiles. At the event, the students ran 100 meters, threw tennis balls for distance, and participated in the long jump. As they had practiced, they cheered to support their fellow athletes. Each student proudly received a ribbon after each event amidst the applause of families, teachers, and peers. The students represented Bancroft Elementary School with pride by being the best they could be at the Special Olympics!​

On Friday, April 27th, Bancroft Elementary School’s first grade classes visited Ashland Nature Center. They looked for organisms living in the stream, the woodlands, and the meadow. The first graders found snails, tadpoles, millipedes and much more. The Ashland Nature Center volunteers showed the students their own animal collection of toads, frogs, turtles and snakes. Visiting these habitats in person helps to bring the students’ current science curriculum, plants and animals, to life. Everyone had a great time, despite the rain.
