Seahawks visit Barge-Lincoln on the Last Day of School
Posted by Hector Mendez on 6/20/2022The Seattle Seahawks tour bus visited Barge-Lincoln on the last day of school. As students exited the building for the final time this school year, they were greeted by the Hawks Blue Thunder, Blitz, the Hawks dance team and several players (Abraham Lucas, Dareke Young and Neiko Thorpe). Blitz and several players played basketball with our kiddos during lunch recess. What a memorable moment for our students.
The Hawks provided each student with a 12th Man Flag and/or a Hawks towel. Students were waiving their flags and towels as they exited the building with a thunderous applause from the Hawks organization, parents and community members.
Thank you Hawks for your partnership with Barge-Lincoln and the Yakima School District!
