Just back from LYNN PUBLIC SCHOOLS and the NORTH SHOE NAVIGATORS combined EDUCATIONAL EVENT. It was a "field trip" to Frasier's FIELD OF DREAMS. What a great time was had!
From what I hear the NAVS commitment to education goes beyond the diamond. Word has it the Fifth Grade at DREWICZ just got books from CENTERBOARD, distributed by NAVS players just befure boarding their bus for the road trip to the field. That's what I love about this league is their commitment to education. It's a natural fit because the players are all college kids themselves. It was extra nice to see graduates of LYNN PUBLIC SCHOOLS between the foul lines.
Tje stadium was full with about 2000 Fifth graders from all over the city. The NATIONAL ANTHEM was beautifully sung by my daughter, Quoting a friend of mine, "She has the voice of an angel". Hey if you are expecting me to be objective, you are reading the wrong blog, my friend.
Still there was another ROCK STAR at the park, Fans all throughout the park were screaming CHOMPS'S name. He danced, he posed for pictures, and he even signed autographs.
I want to publicly thank and praise DR. LATHAM for helping to make today happen. A special measure of thanks goes out to ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION MIKE GEARY for being the point man on this project. This will have been a positive experience these kids will never forgei.
