We are disappointed to share that due to the forecasted weather, the Shorebirds baseball field trip has been canceled. Unfortunately, there will be no reschedule date for this event. We know many of our students were looking forward to this day, and we share in their disappointment. However, in place of the trip, each student will receive two Shorebirds ticket vouchers that can be used for a future game of your choice. These vouchers will be sent home soon. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
