    What teachers are saying about Grand Slam School Day....

  • “My experience with the Grand Slam School Days with the Lansing Lugnuts has been very positive.  We use the educational packets with our students prior to coming.  Many of our students have never been to a professional sporting event, so it is an experience in and of itself.   We bring our entire 7th and 8th grades and our staff.  This becomes a great bonding experience between students and staff.  Our experience with the Lugnuts organization and Olds park has always been professional and positive.  Ovid-Elsie Middle School has attended this program every year since it started.”

  • “Taking our 7th grade band to play at the Lugnuts game was a great experience.  It was very easy to plan the event and our group sales representative took care of almost all of the details.  Our students were able to perform Take Me Out To The Ballgame while enjoying  the day at the stadium.  Parents were able to sit with us in the stands and enjoy the performance and the game.  Our 6th grade students are already looking forward to attending a game next year!
