Kyle’s start today for the Rockies is just one sign of the progress we’re making. Just like for our students in the classroom, we want to offer the best to our student-athletes on the field. It also was just a whole lot of fun, even if my dreams of getting to Kyle’s level were always a whole lot bigger than my chances ever were! In playing basketball and football in high school, I learned a lot about teamwork, leadership and dealing with adversity. Offering quality athletic programs to our kids has obvious benefits for their fitness and heath, and it’s also critical to our mission of supporting the whole child. Sports can be such a big part of our students’ school experience. His first pitch at Coors Field this afternoon will be a joyous moment for DPS athletics and our entire community. He has worked hard for the past three seasons in the minors to get to the big leagues and to get the ball on Opening Day. A Thomas Jefferson Spartan, Kyle was scooped up in the first round of the 2014 draft by the Rockies. When DPS grad and Rockies rookie Kyle Freeland takes the mound for his first major league start in today’s home opener at Coors Field, all of Denver will be cheering him on.
