Bronx, NY — Last week, the Class of 2029 and their families experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — a night under the lights at Yankee Stadium, cheering their home team into the postseason. Thanks to a generous donation of tickets, students and their loved ones attended the high-stakes game completely free of charge.
The stands buzzed with excitement as the Yankees delivered a thrilling performance, scoring big at home and clinching a win that pushed them closer to the playoffs. But while the action on the field was electric, it was the energy from the student section that truly lit up the night.
Wearing team colors and bringing school spirit to the big leagues, the Class of 2029 waved foam fingers, clapped to the rhythm of the stadium anthems, and, most importantly, made memories that will last a lifetime.
“Gloves were imaginary, smiles were real, and everyone was ready to shout, ‘Let’s go Yankees! Let’s go Yankees!’” said one student, who was attending their first-ever live game.
Parents and guardians joined in the fun, grateful for the chance to bond with their children over America’s favorite pastime — and at one of the most iconic venues in sports history. Several families expressed appreciation for the school’s efforts to make the event accessible and inclusive.
School staff and chaperones ensured the evening ran smoothly, while also encouraging students to soak in the experience — from the roar of the crowd to the crack of the bat. Beyond baseball, the event served as a powerful reminder of the importance of community, connection, and celebration.
As the Yankees eye the postseason, the Class of 2029 walks away with a victory of their own — a joyful night of unity, school pride, and unforgettable fun.
“We came for the baseball,” said one parent, “but we left with memories.”
