North fourth grade students
study famous baseball players
Students in the fourth grade
at North Elementary School
recently studied famous base-
ball players. Many aspects were
covered, such as loyalty,
courage, perseverance and self
discipline.
Students were able to discov-
er how Lou Gehrig, Roberto
Clemente and Jackie Robinson
used the above character traits
to succeed in their life long
dreams of becoming profession-
al baseball players. Excelling in
the traits also made them some
of the elite.
Contributing to the class dis-
cussion and unit study was
Kings Mountain's Tyler Leach.
He shared with both fourth
grade classes the trials and
struggles he was confronted
with during his middle and
high school career. He shared
some of the events leading to
his decision to sign with the St.
Louis Cardinals, even though
Virginia Tech had offered him a
package to attend that school.
He said that having the courage
not to follow the crowd and to
stand on your own is hard, but
he persevered.
or his success, he didn’t take
credit but gave all of that to
God for the ability to play and
have the talent.
Leach played the fall season
with the Johnson City, TN team
and then played the extended
season in Florida. He is looking
forward to following his
dreams to the big leagues.
