The sixth graders are kicking off their first research project of the year! Working in groups, students are researching the number of amusement parks in each region of the United States as they explore which region has the most.

This amusement park theme is just the beginning of an exciting year of science and design. Throughout the year, students will create a Dream Amusement Park, Wave Experience, Pedestal Ride, and more while exploring waves, forces, Earth systems, geology, biology, and life at microscopic levels. We can’t wait to see where their curiosity and creativity take them! 🎢🔬

Tea and crumpets, anyone?

That was just one of the pitches at Bancroft’s Upper School Club Fair. Students filled the gym to introduce new ideas, like Watch Your Tone, recruit members, and see what caught their attention, from Robodogs and chess to Fictional Media, Social Concerns, Powder and Wig, and more.

Guess who's been visiting campus?
Bancroft students are interested in everything from communication and the arts to engineering and technology, and our college counseling team reflects those interests in the universities and colleges they bring to campus. Over the past few days we've already had representatives from Emerson College, Boston University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on campus, to name only a few. From large research universities to smaller liberal arts colleges, the goal is to assist each student in finding their right next fit. These visits give students an opportunity to move beyond websites and brochures and have one-on-one conversation. They also give colleges a chance to meet the thoughtful, curious students we work with at Bancroft every day.

This morning, our Bancroft community came together to celebrate the start of a new school year, reconnect with one another, and look ahead to all that’s possible in the year to come.

We were especially inspired to hear from Student Body President Laksha, who shared a powerful goal for herself and our entire community: **to keep a positive mindset.**

“It's easy to stay positive when things are going well. But I challenge us all to keep that same positivity during the bad times, too. These are the moments when your mindset can either push you to grow, or hold you back. So, when you find yourself in a position where you're frustrated or preparing for the worst, I encourage us all to take a moment, calm down and reset. Then, tell yourself to be absurdly optimistic.”

And, of course, no start-of-school gathering would be complete without one of our favorite Bancroft traditions! Our Performing Arts Department led the community in making rain, bringing everyone together with a little rhythm, energy, and plenty of school spirit. 🌧️👏

Here’s to a year of growth, resilience, connection, and being **absurdly optimistic** about what’s ahead! 💙✨

Will you be part of Bancroft Hill or Union Hill? Will your mascot be an alpaca or a tiger? And will your service component support WARL or the Colony Retirement Home?

Last week, our new Middle School community members got answers to all of these questions during one of the most anticipated days of the school year: House Sorting Day! 🎉

House Sorting is a beloved Bancroft tradition where every new member of our Middle School community is sorted into one of our Houses, each named after one of the seven hills of Worcester. Through our House system, students build connections across grade levels, take on leadership roles, participate in friendly competition and shared traditions, and contribute to causes that matter to them. These experiences help students see themselves not only as individual learners, but as essential members of a larger community.
