SLPS Students Throw Out First Pitch At World Series
Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club Selects Two Students To Take National Spotlight

(October 25, 2006) – Two St. Louis Public School students will take center stage at the next two World Series games as the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Detroit Tigers. Anthanisha McMiller, a 5th grader at Gateway Elementary school will throw out the first pitch at tonight’s game at Busch stadium, and Donald Buckner, a junior at Gateway High School will throw out the first pitch at Thursday night’s game.

Both students were chosen by the Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club of America for the positive leadership both in the classroom and at Herbert Hoover. “This is a great honor and we are very proud of Anthanisha and Donald for their hard work and commitment to the Boys & Girls Club,” said Superintendent Dr. Diana Bourisaw.

Anthanisha has been a member of Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club for the past
5 years. She attends everyday and participates in all programs. After school Anthanisha heads to the Learning Center to complete homework assignments or study for upcoming exams. She has been a member of two leadership programs, participating in a variety of club & community service projects that enhanced the lives of others in her community. One of her favorite players is second baseman Ronnie Belliard.

Donald has been a member of Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club for the past 5 years. He was selected for his positive leadership that he displays everyday at the Club. He is Vice President of one of the four Keystone Clubs, a premier leadership program offered to boys and girls ages 14-18. His favorite Cardinal player is first baseman Albert Pujols.
