Principal Venus Jackson said the partnership with the Orioles extends far beyond today's celebration.
"Not only do they support us, but they're boots on the ground. They're always in the building. They're always showing love, and they are part of the Harlem Park Elementary Middle School family," Jackson said.
The visit is part of the Orioles' 'Adopt-A-School' program, which supports more than 400 Harlem Park students through the ongoing partnership.
