Students in Briarcliff and Miller Avenue had a fun and interactive
assembly program when the New York Islanders’ mascot Sparky and a
representative joined them for a virtual visit. The focus of the program
complemented the elementary Character Education program, with guidance
on skills including important decision-making, treating others with
respect, staying active and eating healthy. The program included an
exercise warm-up, short videos showcasing teamwork on and off the ice,
achieving goals and an interactive Q&A on making healthy choices.
The event ended with a rousing rendition of the “Let’s Go Islanders”
chant.
