Worcester Sharks News Release
WORCESTER - Worcester Sharks President and CEO Michael T. Lehr announced today that the "Be A Leader" program will visit the Woodland Elementary School in Milford, MA on Thursday, December 20th at 1-2:35 p.m. during two separate assemblies in front of over 600 children.
Announced in late September by the Worcester Sharks and the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates, the "Be A Leader" program is designed to provide students between the grades of 4-6 with leadership tips to enrich their lives as well as others around them. Sharks Defenseman Dan Spang and the Sharks Mascot Finz will be present at the school assemblies on Thursday along with the principle of the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates, Abby Williams.
Spang, a Winchester native and a Boston University graduate will take the lead at the assembly with the overall topic focused on self esteem.
"The Sharks have gotten a great response after the initial assemblies," said Lehr. "In partnership with the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates, the "Be A Leader" program will continue to help guide children to make better decisions everyday in hopes of a better future."
This exceptional "Be A Leader" program will make school appearances throughout the months of December through March. The program gathers students in a large assembly format where Dan Spang, Sharks staff, and community leaders will speak to students about leadership qualities and ways to better one's life.
Each participant in the program receives one ticket to an upcoming 2007-08 regular season Sharks home game, a Dan Spang autographed tip card and a "Be A Leader" promotional item compliments of the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates.
"I am thrilled to see this program in full motion," said Abby Williams, principal of the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates. "I am excited about the opportunity to share my experiences with children and look forward for the "Be A Leader" program to continue its efforts throughout central Massachusetts."
