“Practice Makes Perfect” was the theme of the day as members of the UW-Stevens Point baseball team taught young students about the importance of learning and having fun when they visited McDill Elementary School on Friday, April 25. [Photo Gallery]
The Pointers stopped by kindergarten-sixth grade classrooms to read stories, answer questions, eat lunch, play games at recess and even sign a few autographs for the students. Many of the books were about baseball, including stories about Jackie Robinson and Lou Gehrig. The Pointers also stressed the importance of practicing reading every day, just like practicing sports.
This is the fourth year UWSP baseball has visited McDill Elementary.
