POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — School of the Ozarks students will sing “God Bless America” before the first pitch of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game on July 2, 2023. This is the first time S of O students have had the honor of singing at a Cardinals game.
School of the Ozarks is a K-12 laboratory school operated under the umbrella of College of the Ozarks.
Ronda Fields, associate professor of vocal music, has a strong reputation for developing choirs of excellence. She has led choirs in the past that have performed at Cardinals games. Thirty-seven S of O students, 7th-12th graders, will sing at the game next week.
Alumni, friends of the College, staff, faculty, and students will enjoy a time of fellowship together during a reception at the stadium. S of O students singing “God Bless America” is a special way of reflecting the College’s patriotic pillar and encouraging love of country.
“It is an honor that the Cardinals organization recognizes the achievements of our students, resulting in this invitation,” said Dr. Brad Dolloff, dean of School of the Ozarks. “I love that this is an opportunity for students, parents, and alumni to gather for such a fun event and to witness this memorable occasion.”
