Bowling Into Summer with the St. Paul Saints and Treasure Island!

The 2024–25 school year is officially in the books and what better way to celebrate than with one of our most legendary field trips of the year?

Last month, ACES students closed out the school year in style at our annual end-of-year celebration with the St. Paul Saints baseball team, hosted by our incredible Goin’ Yard for Youth partners Treasure Island Resort & Casino.

Held at Treasure Island’s Island Xtreme Bowl, the party was full of fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Students teamed up with Saints players for an evening that had it all: bowling strikes and spares (and an occasional gutter ball), pizza parties, spontaneous dance-offs, high-fives galore, and autographs that our students will treasure for years to come.

This event is more than just a celebration; it’s a reflection of the powerful community partnerships that make the ACES experience so special. The St. Paul Saints and Treasure Island have been true MVPs all year long, and this event was no exception. Their generosity and enthusiasm gave our students a space to connect, feel celebrated, and bowl into summer with joy and confidence.

To the Saints, Treasure Island, and every supporter who helped make this year meaningful: thank you!

Partnerships and play empower our students to reach their limitless potential!
