Do you wanna see softballs hit onto La Vida avenue? Teachers diving to try and make a catch? Tripping in the dirt and losing any dignity they have remaining? Come watch the annual Staff vs Students softball game on Thursday May 18, after school. Ask teachers and staff members if they're playing, then come and either cheer them on or politely heckle their struggles. Will Stewart throw an Eephus pitch? Will Taylor hit a house and be accused of P.E.Ds? How many times will Nunes say "Dinger"? Will Lowry wear a shirt with his name on the back? Do the math teachers get excited when they strike out because they counted to 3? This game is tons of fun. There is no admission cost and there will be concessions.
