Braves to host students, staff from DeKalb school

The Atlanta Braves will host students, parents and staff from the Ronald E. McNair Discover Learning Academy at their Sunday game with the San Diego Padres.

“Everyone has been through so much that we wanted them to come out and have a fun, relaxing day at Turner Field while honoring those whose courageous acts saved many lives that day,” said Derek Schiller, Braves Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Principal Brian Bolden, bookkeeper Antoinette Tuff, media specialist Harold Grant, cafeteria manager Malcolm Quillen and Secretary Stephanie Rudolph will be recognized for their courage when an armed gunman entered the school last month. No one was injured in the incident. Tuff will not be in attendance.
