PHOTO GALLERY : Ashton Elementary World Series
May 3, 2013
Ashton Elementary 5th graders played the 1992 and 2007 World Series games Friday, May 3 at Twin Lakes to have fun and use the baseball bucks they had been earning throughout the semester. Fifth grade teachers Donna McGarry and Stacy Sanders teamed up to organize the World Series day for the seventh year in a row. The idea started when one of McGarry’s classes read “In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson,” 12 years ago before she came to Ashton Elementary. This year teachers were granted the Edge of Excellence Grant for $500 that they used to purchase t-shirts for approximately 130 fifth graders.
