Challenger League - Help Needed
I received an e-mail this week from a volunteer of the Challenger League, a division of Little League. Challenger League works with children who have challenges in life and helps them learn to play baseball. I was informed that one of our students, Stevie, volunteers each week. They spoke of her commitment and how she represents our school well. The Challenger League asked if I would ask for some additional student volunteers to come out and assist other children in learning to play baseball. You do not need to be an expert ball player, just someone with a kind heart, such as Stevie. Here is more information:
