Head coach for the Bucks, Junior Weaver, wanted the opportunity for some of his players to interact with local elementary students. “We wanted to give kids the opportunity to get to know our players and for our players to interact with local students. It’s positive in every way.” The Buck baseball players were wearing their uniforms, something the children at HHE loved. After reading, students spent a few minutes asking the players questions about baseball, their positions, and favorite players. UA Rich Mountain’s mission is to provide transformative education to all learners.
