Worcester Sharks "Be a Leader" program stops in Holden
April 1, 2009 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Worcester Sharks News Release
WORCESTER-Worcester Sharks President and CEO Michael T. Lehr has announced that the "Be a Leader" program will visit the Dawson Elementary School in Auburn, MA on Thursday, April 2, from 2:30 - 3:30p.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, 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.
"The Sharks players really enjoying 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 Sharks players, Sharks staff, and community leaders speak to students about leadership qualities and ways to better one's life.
Each participant in the program receives one ticket to a 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."
