Hancock Elementary School

Athletic Teams Stop by Morning Program! A big thank you to Mr. Gleim and the Hancock Bowling Team for attending last week’s Elementary Morning Program! Mr. Gleim brought a few bowling balls and pins, giving our young Wildcats a hands-on look at how the game is played and explaining the basics of bowling. We also want to thank Mr. Bedient and the Wrestling Team for stopping by! Mr. Bedient talked about the rules and moves of wrestling, while our wrestlers demonstrated how a match would take place. It was a great opportunity for our students to learn more about the sport! We appreciate both teams for taking the time to inspire our young Wildcats!

Tonight's music concert has been cancelled due to inclement weather.
