Mets, smiles, and memories to last a lifetime! ⚾️✨Our HJTEP crew had an unforgettable day at the ballpark last week.
Before the game, the kids got field-side for batting practice and even snagged some game balls. ⚾️🔥
The highlight? An amazing Q&A session where our students asked some incredibly thoughtful questions and learned all about Francisco Lindor’s journey to finding his confident smile. 😁
To top it all off, everyone went home with special goodie bags packed with toothbrushes and signed Lindor merch! 🎁
Huge thanks to and for an inspiring day! 🧡💙
