MIAMI | St. Kevin School paid tribute to the late Miami Marlins pitcher José Fernández by observing Marlins Day Sept. 28. The entire faculty, staff, and student body dressed in Marlins attire to honor the 24-year-old ace, who died in a tragic boating accident Sept. 25.

That same evening, St. Kevin's Green and White ShamRockers Choir, led by Choir Director Stephanie Smith, performed the national anthem before the start of the Marlins game against the NY Mets.

Fifty-one students sang and over 200 members of the St. Kevin family were in attendance to show their support.

I'm grateful St Kevin School took the initiative to be there. My grand niece Sofia Quintana is a member of the choir.
