School Kids Day -Thursday, May 23

Who says learning isn't fun?!?! The Bisons have a great way for principals and teachers to spice up their lesson plans and give their students a field trip they'll never forget. Don't worry, we won't tell them it's educational!

The Bisons annual School Kids Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 23 against St. Paul (11:05 a.m.), presented by New York's 529 College Savings Program and Alfred State College. Since 1988, almost a half a million students and teachers have attended this great event at Sahlen Field.

It's the perfect combination of learning and fun! Each Bisons School Kids Day includes an educational theme and the team makes full use of the BisonsTV HD scoreboard to teach important lessons. The theme for School Kids Day 2024 is the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse.

And if you don't think your school can make the journey, the Bisons have also included ways you can raise money to help finance this journey outside the classroom.
