Hey, parents and spectators! ⚾🧢 Come join us this evening for our first home baseball and softball games at 5:00pm! 📢 Just a friendly reminder, we won't tolerate any heckling towards the umpires. 🚫 If any fans heckle an umpire, umpires will suspend servicing our games for two weeks. If this behavior happens again, it'll result in the termination of service for the rest of the year. 🚓🚨 Also, officials have been instructed to call 911 if an angry fan confronts them. 👍 Let's keep in mind that being a good sport is not only something we have to do, but it's also the right thing to do. By showing good sportsmanship and acting professionally, we're setting a great example for our students. See you at the games! 🥎
