EHS Varsity Baseball Team Supports Children's Mental Health Awareness

This month, the EHS Baseball team will participate in the Dinger Bats / Project Connect Children's Mental Health Awareness Campaign. The team is pictured below wearing green armbands created by Dinger Bats and Project Connect for all high school baseball teams in White, Gallatin, and Saline Counties. Team members were encouraged to wear their armbands and post photos to social media in their uniforms and armbands. High school sports team members are role models to younger athletes and we appreciate their influence in raising awareness about children's mental health in the month of May.
