Wyss Named Cardinals Star of the Classroom
September 9, 2016
Brian Wyss has been selected as the St. Louis Cardinals “Star of the Classroom” for the month of September. Wyss, who teaches band at Sperreng and Truman middle schools, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch to kick off the Sept. 9 Cardinals home game at Busch Stadium.
Fredbird stopped by Sperreng Middle School on Friday to personally congratulate Wyss and visit with students. Wyss practiced his pitching skills in the school commons, generating cheers and applause from his students. It was also school picture day, so Fredbird stopped by the gym before he left and had his photo taken for Sperreng’s 2016-17 yearbook!
