Two Correia Middle School students will be participating in upcoming Major League Baseball All-Star Game events after they were named winners in a recent essay contest sponsored by the San Diego Padres. 
The contest was part of the 87th All-Star Game activities before the July 12 game at Petco Park.
Both Carson Arnold (second place) and Zane Sieger (third place) were students in the humanities classes of teacher Keri Clark.
Clark assigned her students to submit online essays using the contest’s theme “Let us know what makes San Diego an all-star community!”
Arnold received tickets to the MLB All-Star Home Run Derby and other events scheduled on Monday, July 11, including the All-Star players’ workouts. For Sieger, he’ll be attending the All-Star legends and celebrity softball game and other activities set for Sunday, July 10. 
Their prizes were presented at school last week by the Padres’ Friar mascot and two Pad Squad members.
