Community Service = Diamondbacks

All 6th graders from our district had to do 5 hours of community service in order to go to a Diamondbacks game. Here is a list of some of the things that students did...

  • Read books to kids to expand literacy

  • Helped other kids with homework

  • Cleaned yards to beautify the community

  • Cooked for a family member

  • Served food at a shelter

  • Cleaned the park

  • Made crosses to donate to a church

  • Made cards for soldiers

  • Cleaned the park

  • among many other things.
Every student that went to the game received a free ticket to watch a D-backs game, D-backs T-shirt and a free meal from the concession stand.


We first gathered at a park near Chase Field to have a Rally. Baxter was there hyping up the kids... (they really didn't need help getting loud) One student from every school won a BIG prize for giving the most outstanding service. Our very own Ashlie was the winner from our school. Her service was making crosses for a church & cards for soldiers. Ashlie won a backpack full of LOTS of goodies like a D-backs jersey, t-shirt, d-backs bat, bracelets, d-backs rattle and other things. For many of our students, it was the very first time they had ever seen a baseball game at Chase Field.

It was cool what we did at Chase Field. We saw Snyder and we had a lot of fun going to the game.
