Each class will receive a poster to track student progress. Once a student reaches their final goal of home plate, a ticket order form will come home. Our game is on Friday, May 3rd, at 7:05 pm.We hope to see lots of students, teachers, and families at the ballpark! :)

*The order forms are due to the Fireflies by March 25 to be seated with our group. Families are required to mail their order forms to the Fireflies on their own.
