Congratulations to KJ Blackhawk for surpassing 1000 career points. KJ is the 12th male athlete in Bancroft-Rosalie history to score 1000 points. Way to go KJ!
Students enjoyed reading their favorite Dr. Seuss books with a family member or special friend. From silly rhymes to tongue-twisting tales, there were smiles, laughter, and lots of joyful reading happening throughout our classrooms, hallways and cafeteria.
Sharing stories together is one of the best ways to build a love of reading, and today was a perfect reminder of how fun books can be.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
