Students and staff at Bancroft Elementary in Spring Valley returned to school Monday, more than a month after flooding from the January 22 storm decimated dozens of classrooms. They were greeted with a colorful balloon arch and 'Welcome Back' signs. "Just excited and really happy to see all the students here," said Principal Nathan Saucedo. "It's a happy homecoming." He said support from the community and from parents helped make today possible. "I want to make sure students feel this is a safe place. They're going to see the smiles of all the people they know and this is home for them," he added. Since the storm, hundreds of students and staffers have held classes at the nearby Spring Valley Academy while crews repaired extensive damage to the school, including 32 classrooms.
