We are inviting families, friends, and community members to lend a helping hand as we continue transforming our school garden into a beautiful space for learning, connection, and community pride.

Today was a successful volunteer day in the garden! 🌱💚
Huge thank you to the 13 families and our amazing Bancroft teachers — Mrs. Wanlass, Ms. Ketchel, and Ms. Blankenship — who came out to show their support on this windy Sunday morning. A very special thank you to our Garden Chair, Jared Frantzich, who has been in the garden daily and has truly been manning this entire operation to bring life back into the garden. Your dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed! 🌿👏🏼

Another successful Roll Up to Bancroft Day! 🚲🛴👟
We loved seeing so many students rolling up on bikes, scooters, and their own two feet this morning! The PTO handed out free helmets and light-up bracelets to help keep our students safe and shining bright.
A huge thank you to our amazing chair for arriving bright and early to pass out all the goodies and welcome everyone as they rolled in. What a fun way to start the day! ☀️💙
