CLAYTON, Mo. — Students at a local elementary school got quite the surprise when Cardinals centerfielder Harrison Bader showed up at their school to lead their class.
Like many schools across the country, the start of the second semester has been a bit of a struggle at Meramec Elementary.
“Last week was a challenge,” said Meramec Elementary Principal Patrick Fisher. “Mostly we had a lot of kids out, but it’s also the staffing perspective. I think sometimes that’s a big part that gets overlooked.”
When Fisher needed someone to pinch hit for P.E. he was able to find an all-star sub to cover all the bases thanks to Missouri Senator Brian Williams.
“We introduced him as a sub, or a guest teacher, and so they were all like wearing masks and he didn’t have a uniform. It was like wait a second who is this? What’s going on?” Fisher said.
