Fourth and fifth graders at Highland Elementary School were asked to perform a simple task on Wednesday and continue it until they graduate from high school: “Think College.”

Funded by the CC Sabathia PitCChIn Foundation, every fourth, fifth grader at the school received a jersey from a four-year university — Oklahoma State University, Iowa State University, Kansas State, or University of Missouri — in an effort to inspire them to begin thinking — at a young age — about life after high school.

In addition, all fourth and fifth graders in the Vallejo City Unified School District, and all students at Steffan Manor Elementary School will also receive jerseys.

via Vallejo students participate in program to inspire goals after high school.
