Envelopes with sponsors' pledges are due to your student's teacher on Tuesday, October 7th.  Pledge envelopes will be returned after the event. Our goal for this event is to raise $20,000; we can reach this if each student collects a total sponsorship of $35. 

 

Students and classes will have an opportunity to earn a number of prizes and awards based on their participation in the Walk-A-Thon.  A special prize will be given to the class that earns the most pledges and the class that collects all pledges and pledge forms first. 

 

To qualify for prizes, pledge money and envelopes will be due by Friday, October 24th.  Winners will be announced on Friday, October 31st. 

 

The Bancroft Walk-A-Thon raises money for the current school year to help fund technology improvements, teacher materials, library books, playground supplies, garden program supplies, and our Science Lab.  Students get family and friends to sponsor them based on number of laps completed during the event or with a flat donation.  Students and classes have the opportunity to earn a number of prizes and awards based on their participation and donation collection.  Our goal for the year is to raise $20,000.  We reached our goal last year with the great support of our Bancroft community - let's do it again this year!

Great News! Bancroft currently has 6 Odyssey teams that will be representing our school this year at the 2015 SF Bay Tournament on February 28th at Concord High School.

 

We still have several 1st and 2nd graders who would like to be on one of our school's Primary teams, but they are in need of a few more students (teams are 5-7 students)... and who have parents who are willing to co-coach their team.  Odyssey trains all parent coaches locally. Please see the fun problem synopsis listed below, and contact Christy Paloutzian if you and your 1st or 2nd grader is interested in forming another Bancroft Primary Team.

You probably have some floating around already at home!  Just bring them in to your classroom or to the office marked with your classroom number or teacher's name, and your class could win a "Popsicle Party!"  

The class with the most Box Tops at the end of the year will win a "Popsicle Party," and EVERY time your class turns in 1500 Box Tops you can win a "Popsicle Party" too!  If every student in your class brings in at least 5 Box Tops each month for the rest of the school year that would be 1500 Box Tops and we will reach our annual Box Top fundraising goal of $1,000.
