The Dragons MVP Program The Dragons expanded elementary school MVP Program reaches five counties and more than 1,100 classrooms. Schools in Montgomery, Greene, Clark, Miami and Warren counties are part of the program that includes 1,116 fourth and fifth grade classrooms in 183 schools over 48 school districts. About 34,000 children will participate. The program is in its 12th year in 2017. Due to the support of the participating sponsors, the program is completely free of charge to the schools. How does the Dragons School MVP Program work? The teacher in each of the 1,116 classrooms over the five-county area will select five MVP’s based on the teacher’s judgment of performance, effort, citizenship, and improvement. The five MVPs selected by their teacher in each classroom will get four tickets to a Dragons game, tickets to a special Field Day event at the stadium during the season, an MVP certificate and a Dragons MVP hat. Dragons players and mascots visit selected classrooms over the course of the season. Additionally, 12 Dragons games during the season are designated as “MVP Game Nights.” On those nights, one MVP gets to throw out the ceremonial first pitch to the game, another does an on-air interview during the Dragons game broadcast on Fox Sports 980, and another participates in an entertainment skit during the Dragons game. Two times each season, all classroom MVP’s are invited to attend the Dragons MVP Field Day at Fifth Third Field and interact with Dragons players. The Dragons MVP Program presented by Bob Evans is also made possible by the generous support of Sinclair Community College, WDTN TV and Dayton’s CW Television. Dragons Kids Club is Back For the fifth year in a row, young Dragons fans can join the Frisch’s Dragons Kids Club. For just $15, members receive four Dragons tickets, a Dragons t-shirt, a Dragons hat, a Dragons backpack, a free kids meal at Frisch’s Big Boy, and an invite to an exclusive Kids Club Movie Night.
