Mariner fever is catching at Hazelwood Elementary and the school was featured in a KOMO 4 news story on October 6. Students at the school are joining in on the excitement of the playoffs while continuing their studies.

Kindergartners learned how to make dough and shaped it into baseball gloves, bats and baseballs. They also practiced singing and learned "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Fifth graders are practicing their math skills as students were assigned a Mariner player to keep statistics on throughout the series.

"We have such creative and innovative teachers," commented Principal Mary Ford. "The exciting activities keep the kids focused on education while watching a major sports event."

Who says school can't be fun?!
