It was a day to remember for many Katy Independent School District students, who had a visit from Houston Astros third baseman and shortstop Alex Bregman, and the school received brand new iPads, courtesy of the Bregman Cares Charity. Four Katy ISD schools, including Leonard, McRoberts, Griffin and Stephens elementary schools, welcomed the baseball player to their campus for the donation, all while practicing COVID-19 safety protocols.
“It feels great to see their smiles,” said Houston Astros Alex Bregman. “Schools are doing a great job of keeping students safe and also helping them learn. Katy ISD has done a great job in these tough times and is helping the kids through their learning. It’s been great to be able to hand out iPads today,” added Bregman.
The Bregman Cares mission is to provide awareness, support, time and resources to children locally and throughout the country. For the past few years, the organization has focused on donating technology devices and educational resources for students.
