Two St. Louis Public School students will take center stage at the next two World Series games as the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Detroit Tigers. Anthanisha McMiller, a 5th grader at Gateway Elementary will throw out the first pitch at tonight’s game at Busch stadium, and Donald Buckner, a junior at Gateway High School will throw out the first pitch at Thursday night’s game.

Both students were chosen by the Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club of America for the positive leadership both in the classroom and at Herbert Hoover. “This is a great honor and we are very proud of Anthanisha and Donald for their hard work and commitment to the Boys & Girls Club,” said Superintendent Dr. Diana Bourisaw.

Anthanisha has been a member of Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club for the past five years. She attends every day and participates in all programs. After school Anthanisha heads to the Learning Center to complete homework assignments or study for upcoming exams. She has been a member of two leadership programs and has participated in a variety of club and community service projects. One of her favorite players is second baseman Ronnie Belliard.

Donald has been a member of Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club for the past five years. He was selected for the positive leadership that he displays at the Club. He is Vice President of one of the four Keystone Clubs, a premier leadership program offered to boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18. His favorite Cardinal player is first baseman Albert Pujols.
