Dear Middle Level Educators!

The Minnesota Twins recognize that good performance in school begins with good attendance and they�re excited to team up with Minnesota Middle School Association to create the Perfect Attendance Incentive Program.  We�ve had a great experience for many years and this year�s program looks to be even better!   

The reason the Minnesota Twins and MMSA have established this program is because they recognize the importance of having students in each class every day. 

To become eligible, students must simply have �perfect attendance� for the 2011-2012 school year.  Each school can define what perfect attendance means for your participation but the focus is on regular, daily attendance.

What are the Twins offering?  Each middle school that participates will select one student from their pool of students that met the criteria to attend the game on Saturday, May 26, 2012.  (tentative date).  The Twins will provide 4 tickets for that student and their guests to attend.  The Twins are working to develop some great activities and incentives that will take place during the game including:

  • Each selected student will represent their middle school on the field prior to the game as part of a pre-game ceremony recognizing their accomplishment. 

  • One eligible student will be selected to throw out the first pitch during the pre-game ceremony.

  • Students will be invited to sing �Take Me Out to the Ballgame� during the 7th inning stretch with T.C. Bear by the right field flag poles.

We would like to thank the Minnesota Twins for supporting the Attendance Incentive Program and our students across the state of Minnesota!

 

Due to the generosity of the Minnesota Twins, they have increased the number of tickets we have for the program. We ARE accepting additional middle schools to participate in this program at this time.  Please contact Chris Bussmann to sign your school up for this program.

 

Sincerely,

 

Chris Bussmann, Principal
