OLD NEWS: BUT STILL NEWSWORTHY
Can you believe this happened 2 years ago?  We surely were goodluck charms for the Yankees- maybe they should come back for a revisit?


THE SECRET IS OUT.......
YANKEES CAME TO ST. SIMON STOCK!!!!!!!!

000_0398
Monday 9/28/2009 was the most exciting, awesome day that our school has seen in awhile. It was quite hard keeping a secret.  The teachers were told Monday morning that some Yankees would be coming to speak to the students.  In the afternoon the children assembled in the auditorium.  They realized "something" was going on having to do with the Yankees since they saw the stage decorated with various Yankee symbols and they saw many news personnel setting up their tripods.

The Yankees were annnounced one by one by Paul Olden as the students and adults cheered:  Kennedy, Height, Dunn Aceves, Pena Cervelli.  The room was electric as the last Yankee was announced Alex Rodriguez.  They came to SSS to give the students a message:  stay in school and work.  These men brighten our young people's lives in many ways; they give back to the community and are quite proactive.

     Through their accomplishments they motivate the children to be the best they can be.  They empowered our chidren to be the best they can be. They empowered our children with the knowlede that they too can succeed if they stay focused.  Their prsence at St. Simon Stock is one that will not be forgotten.
