Bancroft PTO

🌱 After the amazing success of our first Garden Clean Up Day, we’re excited to keep the momentum growing! 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.
Join us on Friday, May 29th as we build and set up our new raised garden beds together. Whether you can stay for an hour or the whole afternoon, every helping hand makes a difference! 💚🌼

NEXT FRIDAY. Bring a blanket or chair, pack a picnic and join us on the grass for Lunch on the Lawn! Plan to arrive during your student’s lunch time and sign in at the front.
TK & Kinder are welcome to join us on the big lawn after dismissal.
Hot lunch will be available as normal and students are welcome to bring it outside.

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! 🌿👏🏼

🌱Reminder that tomorrow morning is Garden Clean-Up Day! Our Garden chair has been working hard in the garden, and we’re looking forward to the community coming together to lend a willing hand for this labor of love (and weeds!). Please remember to bring any gardening tools you may have. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing everyone there! 🪴🪏

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! ☀️💙

🚲🛴🛼 Tomorrow is Bike to School Day! 🛼🛴🚲
Ride to school your way — bike, scooter, or roller blade your way in! It’s a fun way to start the day, get moving, and show your school spirit. 🌟
Be sure to stop by the PTO table before school for FREE giveaways and surprises! 🎉
Don’t forget your helmet and ride safely — we can’t wait to see everyone roll in tomorrow! 🚦💙

Day 5 of Teacher Appreciation Week ⚡️
We wrapped up an enchanting week celebrating our incredible staff with a magical lunch today! A huge THANK YOU to Raising Cane's for donating lemonade, sweet tea, and special cards so each of our teachers can enjoy a FREE drink every day during the month of May! 🥤💛
Our teachers truly are the heart of our Hogwarts, inspiring, encouraging, and shaping young witches and wizards every single day. Thank you for all the magic you bring to our school! 🦉📚✨

Day 4 of Teacher Appreciation Week was nothing short of magical with our Potions Class Soda Bar! From Unicorn Elixirs to Lightning Potions, our teachers brewed up the perfect enchanted drink using this spellbinding flyer as their guide. 🥤⚡📚
Thank you to our incredible teachers for the magic, care, and dedication you bring each and every day — Hogwarts would be lucky to have you! 🪄💛
