Thanks to the generosity of Jerry Walker, President and General Manager of the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, Waldo students who pass or improve on their OAKS tests this spring may be rewarded with free tickets for a baseball game. The passes, which are good for three home games during the summer, recognize academic achievement and effort within our school. Jason Jones, a language arts teacher at Waldo, commends the team for its thoughtfulness.
"Nothing beats watching a baseball game in the summertime if you ask me," said Jones. "If it's a free game, that's still better. The Volcanoes have a great team, and I hope that numerous Mustangs make their way up to Keizer to celebrate their personal home runs."
The three games available to students will be on June 28, July 5, and August 16. Deserving students will be rewarded with passes by June 14. Ask your teachers if you are eligible, and teachers can contact Mr. Jones for extra passes. The Volcanoes are a Class A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, and they make their fans proud each season.
