DAYTON, OH- The Dayton Dragons are pleased to team up with Montgomery, Clark, and Greene County schools to present the 2007 Dragons MVP Program, honoring students that have earned "MVP" status in the classroom.

Over 850 classrooms participated in the program, and each teacher selected five Dragons MVPs for their classroom. Those children that have been selected as a Dragons MVP received complimentary tickets to enjoy a Dragons game at Fifth Third Field with their families. At each game they will also receive a customized Dragons MVP ball cap.

The Clark and Greene County Dragons MVP program participants are invited to attend a special Dragons MVP "Field Day" on Saturday, August 4th from 10 AM to 12:30 PM where they will have a chance to meet the 2007 Dayton Dragons and enjoy a day of fun activities at Fifth Third Field. Activities scheduled are face painters, mascots, complimentary ballpark snacks, a free team poster, skills stations with the Dragons players, and an autograph session. Montgomery County MVPs had their field day in June.

Last year was the inaugural season for the Dragons MVP Program: A Tool for Teachers. Over 91% of all fourth and fifth grade teachers in Clark County participated in the program in 2006, and that number has risen to 97% in 2007.

"The students from Montgomery County had a wonderful time at their Field Day in June," said Robert Murphy, Dragons team president. "We are looking forward to seeing many more smiling faces at the ballpark on August 4th when the students from Clark and Greene Counties get a chance to meet the players and run around the diamond."

The Dragons MVP program is made possible courtesy of the Turner Foundation of Springfield, PACE (Parents Advancing Choice in Education), and Montgomery County.
