(KNZA)--The Hiawatha Police Department hosted the Kansas City Royals mascot Sluggerrr at the Hiawatha Elementary School Wednesday.
Police Chief John Defore says the focus of their visit was an anti-bullying program which is entitled “STRIKE OUT BULLYING.”
The elementary school students got to hear from actual KC Royals players, and had a chance to play games and learn from Sluggerrr and his spokesman.
Defore says it was truly an honor for the Police Department to be able to sponsor such an important visitor to the community to help spread the word against bullying.
Defore says its their intention to bring Sluggerrr and the KC Royals back to the elementary school again next year.
