Schools around the country have been experiencing teacher shortages, but one elementary school had a Major League Baseball star help pick up some of the slack.
Harrison Bader, a center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, surprised students at Meramec Elementary School in Clayton, Missouri, on Monday when he showed up as their PE teacher. Principal Patrick Fisher told CNN that like all schools his staff has been spread very thin, but Missouri Senator Brian Williams told him Bader was interested in helping out. Fortunately, Meramec was in need of a PE teacher, so the kids were told they had a special sub.
— Clayton Schools January 10, 2022 "In the game that they played they had a lot more success than I did," Bader said."I've had a lot more success on the field playing in front of St. Louis fans."Before he left, Bader signed some of the kids' hats and other Cardinals gear they were wearing, Fisher said."It was really just a way to boost morale for the kids to have a lot of fun and make some memories," the principal said.
