Worcester Sharks News Release
WORCESTER-Worcester Sharks President and CEO Michael T. Lehr has announced that the "Be a Leader" program will visit the Tatnuck Magnet School in Worcester, MA on Thursday, February 12, from 1:00 - 2:30p.m.
Created at the start of the 2007-08 season by the Worcester Sharks and the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates, the "Be a Leader" program is designed to provide students in grades 4-6 with leadership tips to enrich their lives as well as others around them. Sharks players Mike Moore and Riley Armstrong, in addition to Finz, the Sharks' mascot, will be present at the school assemblies along with the principle of the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates, Abby Williams.
Moore, a Princeton graduate who began his career with the Sharks last season, and Armstrong, a third-year Shark, will take the lead at the assembly, addressing the students and sharing their insights on being a professional hockey player and the negative effects of bullying.
"The Sharks players really enjoy working with the students," said Director of Community Relations Michael Myers. "It's not every day that a professional athlete and a mascot visit a child's school. It's a fun way to help guide students to make the right decision in every day life."
This exceptional "Be a Leader" program gathers students in a large assembly format where Moore, Armstrong, 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 2008-09 regular season Sharks home game and a "Be a Leader" booklet compliments of the Law Firm of Abigail Williams and Associates.
"My entire staff has really enjoyed being part of this great program," 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."
