Ports Support Students with Education Days

Ports to Host Education Days on April 20 and May 12



STOCKTON, Calif. - The Stockton Ports will host Education Days on
Tuesday, April 20 and Wednesday, May 12, as part of their continuing
commitment to supporting area students and teachers and encouraging a
love of learning. 



This will be the sixth consecutive season that the Ports have held
Education Days at Banner Island Ballpark, and the Ports are proud to
continue to partner with area schools in the organization's education
programs.



Area schools are invited to turn Banner Island Ballpark into a classroom
for a day, and to engage their students at an 11:05 a.m. ballgame on
Tuesday, April 20 and Wednesday, May 12.  Students can learn how to
apply the math, statistics and physics lessons they are learning in many
ways at a baseball game, such as computing a player's batting average or
a pitcher's earned run average, using geometry to calculate the distance
it takes a catcher to throw out a runner at second, and by calculating
pitch speed.     



On Education Days, the Ports combine educational themes with a fun day
game. Students and teachers can take part in educational activities and
events, which are held before and during the game, including a Q&A with
Ports players. Students can also enjoy participating in the in-between
inning promotions at the game as well.



Education Day tickets for students, teachers and administrators cost $5,
and includes a ticket to the game, a hot dog, juice and a snack.  



The Ports are also proud to support education by welcoming area high
school students to Banner Island Ballpark for Sober Grad group outings
and by making the stadium available for high school commencement
ceremonies.  The Ports are also excited to welcome area teachers to the
May 4 home game to celebrate the national holiday, Teacher Appreciation
Day.
