Leprechaun/Swoop Photo Shoot

Hey Silver Hawks Fans!

I am gettin' anxious for the Baseball season to start! Can't believe that in less than two weeks the team will arrive from Arizona and we will be playing our first game! SO EXCITED!!

Check out these SWEET pictures from our Leprechaun/Swoop photo shoot. We took photos to help promote the ND Exhibition game. There will be an article featured in The Observer, the official University of Notre Dame newspaper. Be sure to check it out!

You can also log onto www.silverhawks.com to order your ND Exhibition tickets, because you DO NOT want to miss this exciting game of baseball! Or your ol' pal Swoop!

Few Short Weeks till Season Opener

Hey Silver Hawks Fans!

Can you believe that we only have 13 more days until the Notre Dame Exhibition game on April 5th?! Wow!! I have a lot to do until then! The cleaning crew is hard at work at The Cove to get the stadium ready for the first game. I have been working hard alongside them by cutting the grass, weeding, washing the concourse floors, painting, and so much more! It's a lot of work for a small bird like myself (especially since ol' Swoop has packed on a few pounds during the winter months) Don't worry I will be in dancing shape before the start of the first game!

Great news! My reading club is coming to a close in the next few weeks! We had a record high of 14,478 students participate in the reading club program this season! THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE! I am so proud of all my readers, and I hope to see them at all the Reading Club baseball games. I have been very impressed during my visits to local schools to hear the amount of time students have read in the months of February and March. One student managed to read a total of 30 hours in the month of February! WOW! Like I say to all my reading club members... All I ask is that you try your personal best! If you try your best you will always succeed!

In the upcoming weeks I will be making appearances to Warren Primary and Millersburg Elementary for their Reading Awards Ceremonies. I will also be making special visits to The University of Notre Dame to promote the Notre Dame exhibition game and pass out tickets to lucky Notre Dame students. Keep your eyes peeled! You never know where I am going to show up next! I am very very sneaky! Ha!

GO HAWKS!

Pictures from our Reading Appearances

Here are some great pictures of my friends at Trinity Lutheran School!

SPRING IS HERE!

Hey Silver Hawks Fans!

The snow has finally melted, the birds are chirping (including your favorite mascot), flowers are budding, so it MUST mean it's TIME TO PLAY BALL! 28 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE 2010 SEASON STARTS! It'll be here before you know it. Remember tickets go on sale at the Box Office this Saturday at 10 am. Don't forget that you can always buy them online! www.silverhawks.com

As many of you know I am visiting different locations in the Michiana area. Last week I visited two elementary schools: Trinity Lutheran in Elkhart and Moccasin Elementary in Buchanan, MI. I LOVED VISITING THESE TWO SCHOOLS! Not only did I get to read my two favorite books, but the children were lively and energetic! We cheered, we danced, we shook our tailfeathers!

The children at Trinity Lutheran School had Pajama Day and were allowed to wear their pajamas, robes, and slippers to school and bring their favorite stuffed animal. Too bad I left my pajamas at home! It was so much fun! We read Curious George goes to a Baseball Game and Casey at the Bat. Stayed tuned for pictures of our reading extravaganza.

Be on the lookout for me at other great events in the Michiana area! I will be a participant in the St. Patrick's Day parade in downtown South Bend this Saturday, March 13th at 11 am. Stop on by to see all the great St. Patrick's Day floats!

Go Silver Hawks!
