pads are available at all Nationals Park Guest Services locations to guests who may feel overwhelmed by

EDUCATION
Cornerstones Program
The Nationals have partnered with DCPS and their Cornerstones program to create a unique baseball-
themed English Language Arts curriculum taught to every first grader throughout the city.
Cornerstones provides all DCPS students with a shared learning experience. For this program, students will
take what they learned about American Symbols out of the classroom for a field trip to Nationals Park.
During the field trip, the students will learn about the history of baseball in their backyard, interact with
the Nationals mascots, enjoy a hotdog, and even get to run the bases on the field.
Summer Reading Programs
For the sixth consecutive year, the Nationals are the sponsor for D.C. Public Library’s Summer Reading
program. Sean Doolittle will kick things off at a special event early in the summer as this year’s player
ambassador.
D.C. Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is the largest District-wide initiative addressing the
“summer slide,” the loss of learning that occurs when students do not read during summer vacation.
The Summer Reading Program activity booklet will feature Nationals-related games, and children ages 6-
18 who register and complete the program will receive a voucher for two free tickets to a Nationals game!
Building on the success of the partnership with DC Public Library, the Nationals are proud to announce that
they will be sponsoring the Arlington Public Library Summer Reading program in 2019.
Juan Soto will be the Nationals player ambassador for the Arlington Public Library Summer Reading
program and he will make a visit to Arlington Central Library to kick off the program.
More information is available at nationals.com/Community.
By providing the uniforms at no cost to these leagues, the Nationals aim to break down financial barriers
that can prevent kids from playing baseball and softball.
To date, the Nationals have saved member leagues nearly $1 million in costs.
Players from these leagues will be given the opportunity to experience a game at Nationals Park through a
complimentary ticket offer and connect with Nationals players when they visit the leagues throughout the
season.
To date, Nationals players have made 33 visits to member leagues through the Team UP program.
