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 New Richmond Elementary in Cincinnati, Ohio! The BEARCAT mascot visited New Richmond Elementary on Monday, February 28th instead of the usual Friday visit due to the school kicking-off a new reading program.
"New Richmond Elementary was grateful to have a visit from the University of Cincinnati Bearcat," said Misty Cresap, second grade teacher at New Richmond Elementary. "Our school was kicking off a month long reading promotion on February 28th and the University representatives came and visited all of our classrooms. They demonstrated good reading skills, shared their enthusiam for reading and encouraged our students to achieve their reading goals. New Richmond Elementary students were truily inspired by their visit!"
New Richmond Elementary School is located at 1141 Bethel-New Richmond Road in New Richmond, Ohio.
