Marketing Director, Elizabeth Moody explains, “This unique opportunity was presented to us by Tim Henke, a McGivney parent, and we jumped on the opportunity. We are blessed to have parents, teachers, and supporters who continue to help bring exciting opportunities to our students. Understanding different people and their cultures is one of the best ways we can learn from each other, and learn more about ourselves.”
Players’ families listen to Ascencio and Molina from all over the world. Fans connect with the two over social media to tell them where they’re listening from. Principal Joseph Lombardi says, “We teach our students that learning another language can literally open new doors for them and offer them new opportunities that they would have never imagined. Having the STL Cardinals Broadcasters come to the school to meet with the class, is a real-life example of just that. I am very excited for our students and thankful to the broadcasters for giving our students this opportunity.”
