NEWS, ANNOUNCEMENTS AND MORE
Check out this article (quoted below) and watch this video about our students playing baseball at Bishop Maginn High School!
"...for this team, wins and losses are almost an afterthought. Its purpose is bigger than baseball. Eight of the team's 13 players are members of the Karen ethnic minority ravaged by genocide in Myanmar. Before this spring, most of the refugees had never swung a bat or worn a glove."
We are overjoyed that our students were able to take advantage of this opportunity and look forward to their next season!
