The University of Cincinnati celebrates last 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.
Last week's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER was INDEPENDENCE ELEMENTARY! The BEARCAT mascot visited Independence Elementary last Friday to mingle with the students at their Masquerade March.
The 2010 Independence Masquerade March took place on October 30, 2010. This is a yearly tradition at the school and their main PTA fundraiser. This year the school raised over $12,000. During recess, the students walked along their bus lane in their Halloween costumes, danced to spooky music and took pictures with the UC Bearcat and Mr. Redlegs from the Cincinnati Reds. Fourth grader Trent Mackinder said, "I had a great time. I loved wearing my old man mask to school."
Independence Elementary is one of ten elementary schools in the Lakota Local School District. It houses students in grades 2-6. Independence Elementary is located at 7480 Princeton Road in Liberty Township, Ohio. The Principal is Greg Finke.
