⚾️🧢 Mrs. Chidley and her students knocked it out of the park with an unforgettable trip to a Timber Rattlers game!
As part of a STEM & Careers in Sports Day, students spent the week leading up to the game diving into real-world math, learning how to calculate batting average, slugging percentage, and earned run average.
This amazing opportunity was made possible thanks to Mrs. Chidley’s dedication. She went the extra mile by applying for and receiving a grant from the Alumni Association.
From learning to cheering in the stands, it was a day full of fun, teamwork, and hands-on learning at the ballpark. Way to go, everyone! 👏⚾️
