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 ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL in Crescent Springs, Kentucky! The BEARCAT mascot visited St. Joseph School today to visit with students and deliver UC prizes to employees wearing red and black.

"St. Joseph School is excited to be selected to host Bearcat Friday. There are several teachers and many parents who are alumni of the University of Cincinnati, and families who presently have students attending UC," said Principal Cathy Stover, " We congratulate the university in providing the area with a quality academic program and with generating excitement in the accomplishments of the UC sports teams."

St. Joseph is a Catholic Elementary School located in Crescent Springs, Kentucky. The school aims to create a Christian community in which a sense of values and proper attitudes are fostered, human dignity and personal worth are nourished, discipline and self-direction are developed, and various cultures and talents are appreciated in a spirit of mutual understanding, freedom, and love. You are welcome to come and visit to see the great things happening at St. Joe's.
