So awesome having Blooper and his crew at our school for Home Run University! ⚾🔥

Our students learned all about hitting the field with active exercise, owning their plates with healthy foods, making time for rest and self-care, and engaging fully in the classroom.

Every student received a diploma for completing the program. Thank you so much to the Atlanta Braves and Blooper for such an inspiring visit! 🎓

📚🏈 A huge thank-you to Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons for making extra special for our third-grade Lions!

Our students loved your message and books, inspiring them to build a love of reading, dream big, and stay active! 📖💪

We’re grateful for this wonderful opportunity to remind our Lions that great things happen when we read more and play outside harder! 🦁❤️

Thank you, Bijan and Foundation, for motivating our students to grow both in and out of the classroom!
