3rd Grade Surprise: We, along with a couple of parents, came up the idea to have a 3rd grade baseball/softball game. We are going to split the classes into two teams so that it will not be class against class. We are asking for parents (dads) to volunteer to pitch and cook. The game is scheduled for May 19th. We are thinking we can make it a whole day (almost) game with a break for lunch. We are inviting parents and grandparents to come enjoy the game and cheer for the teams. If you would like to help us plan, pitch, cook, donate money (or food) or anything else please let me know. Anyone who would like to help is welcome!!!!!!
