Dear Bancroft Community,
Now that we have had a few successful weeks of school under our belt, I want to take a minute to focus on some non-COVID, non-back to school news.
Over the past few years, we — the whole Bancroft community — have spent countless hours evaluating where we have been, who we want to be, and where we want to go as part of our strategic planning and reaccreditation work. These efforts led to the development of our BluePrint125 strategic plan but also exposed that our mission statement could better articulate the true trajectory of our institution.
Since launching BluePrint125 in February 2019, the Board of Trustees has worked to align the Bancroft School Mission, Vision, and Values statements. These new bold and thoughtful statements will serve as the foundation for our efforts moving forward and will guide the daily work of our faculty and staff. As members of the Bancroft community, we all have a role in living up to these statements. I hope you will take the time to read these statements and think about the ways you might be able to help give life to these words. Throughout this year, we will share updates on our progress with BluePrint 125 as well as examples of the ways in which we are living our Mission, Vision, and Values.
Fall is always a busy time at school. We would love for you to join us in two upcoming events on campus. On Saturday, September 25th, we will hold our annual Homecoming event. Come and cheer on our Middle and Upper School Fall Sports teams as they compete against our rivals from Lexington Christian Academy. Families and children of all ages will enjoy free food, games, prizes, and much more at the Homecoming Fall Festival. The fun kicks off at 11:00 a.m. on our fields behind the Fletcher Athletic Center. This is always a great day, and we hope you can come!
We would also love your support for our Fall Open House on Sunday, October 3rd. We are excited to welcome potential new families in person —please invite anyone you know to join us. More information can be found at this webpage.
Thank you again for your continued support and partnership. I hope to see you in person soon!
Best, Trey Trey Cassidy |
