DUCKS CONGRATULATE READERS
Ducks help honor PARP participants
(Centereach, N.Y., March 16, 2011) - On Wednesday, the Long Island Ducks joined Jericho Elementary School in commemorating the school's involvement in PARP, which stands for Parents As Reading Partners. Students in grades one through five listened to Ducks' infielder Ray Navarrete speak about the importance of reading.
Approximately 400 students enjoyed the speech, which ended with a question and answer session for the 2010 Atlantic League All-Star. Following the assembly, every student received a special signed certificate from Navarrete himself. It was truly a memorable day for all of those in attendance at Jericho Elementary School.
