Dear Superintendent Cerny:
Congratulations! U. S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan has recognized Bancroft-Rosalie Elementary School, in Bancroft-Rosalie Community Schools as a Exemplary High Performing Schools National Blue Ribbon School for 2015.
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program award recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students either achieve very high learning standards or are making notable improvements in closing the achievement gap. Since 1982, the U. S. Department of Education has sought out and celebrated great American schools. The National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content.
Secretary Duncan has invited two representatives (school principal and teacher or staff member) of Bancroft-Rosalie Elementary School to Washington, DC for the November 9 and 10 recognition ceremony, where they will be presented with a National Blue Ribbon School plaque and flag as official symbols of their achievement.
