PE Newsletter
National Anthem
For those who don’t know, every year Mr. Noble brings together our Catholic school choirs to sing the National Anthem. For the past few years, we’ve sung at a baseball game in Bricktown (formerly Dodgers), on a Sunday afternoon.
This year, we’ll be singing on Friday, September, 6 at 7:05 pm (Anthem @ 6:55 pm). (Singers call time TBA.)
Tickets are $15, and EVERYONE (including singers) will need a ticket. Please sign up through the front office and let Ms. Emily know if you will be attending.
Mr. Noble will bring tickets to you and rehearse with your students at an agreed-upon time. Your school should have a check made out to St. John Nepomuk Catholic School for the dollar amount of your tickets.
Collectively, we have to sell at least 300 tickets. Seats will be in the lower deck behind 3rd base/home dugout.
There should be at least one parent/trusted adult for each student; students are not to be dropped off and left without a parent/trusted adult.
Students are not required to stay for all or any of the game.
Attire: jeans and your school’s spirit shirt/t-shirt.
