The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday winner.
The University of Cincinnati Athletic Department developed a way for businesses and campus offices around the country to join in on the fun and show their pride for the University. Bearcats Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year.
This week's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER IS MULBERRY ELEMENTARY in Milford, Ohio! The BEARCAT mascot visited Mulberry Elementary today to deliver UC items to staff and to join in on the first grade outdoor field day.
"Our students were thrilled to have a visit from the Bearcat! What an exciting surprise and great way to celebrate their reading success in first grade," said first grade teacher Melissa Kanalas. "We are very proud of all that our students have accomplished this school year. Thank you Bearcat for sharing in our reading celebration!"
Mulberry Elementary is one of four new elementary schools in Milford made possible by the support of a bond issue in 2001. Mulberry Elementary opened its doors for the 2003-2004 school year. It houses grades K-6 and features larger kindergarten classrooms to provide sufficient space for all of the activities during the course of the kindergarten year. For the 2008-2009 school year, the Ohio Department of Education rates Mulberry as Excellent with Distinction.
