ParentSquareColts Mascot “Blue” Visits Mary Frank Elementary
Mary Frank Elementary had a special visitor today—Blue, the beloved mascot of the Indianapolis Colts!
Blue, along with his emcee, brought an energetic 30-minute program that blended fun and learning. Through satellite calls, Colts cheerleaders and players joined in to share important messages with students about:
-
Eating a healthy, balanced diet
-
Staying physically active for at least 60 minutes a day
-
Working hard in the classroom
-
Treating others with kindness and respect by not bullying
The program kept students engaged with interactive games, laughter, and plenty of audience participation. The highlight came at the end when a staff member volunteered to take a pie in the face—much to the delight of the students!
Before wrapping up, Blue led everyone in reciting a pledge to take care of themselves and each other, reinforcing the day’s lessons of health, kindness, and perseverance.
Here’s a short recap of the morning session for Grades 3-5. Grades K-2 were in the afternoon session.
Thank you to the Indianapolis Colts organization for bringing such an inspiring and fun program to Mary Frank!
