Bearcat Friday Winner Announced!
April 29, 2010
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 Friday is scheduled to run throughout the year.
This week's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER IS HERITAGE HILL ELEMENTARY! The Bearcat mascot visited Heritage Hill Elementary this week to mingle with the students at their pep rally to prepare for the Ohio Achievement Test that they are taking this week.
"We at Heritage Hill Elementary, Princeton City School District, were excited to have Bearcat join us at our Ohio Achievement Testing pep rally yesterday! We have been studying and learning all year long and now is the time to show what we know," said Principal Lynette Brown. "Bearcat encouraged us to remember to use all of the test taking strategies we have been equipped with to be successful on the tests. Bearcat is a reminder of what our academic goal is, to eventually attend and graduate from college! Thank you Bearcat for motivating us to work hard and be the best that we can be!"
Heritage Hill Elementary is part of the Princeton City School District. The school is located at 11961 Chesterdale Road in Cincinnati, Ohio.
