Elementary students received a special lesson on character from representatives of the New York Islanders during an assembly on Jan. 16.

During the program, the students watched a short video on the importance of teamwork before hostess Dina selected several students to participate in an activity that demonstrated the significance of working together.

The messages shared during the event reinforced the school’s comprehensive character education program. Throughout the assembly, the students were excited to expand their understanding of the subject and even enjoyed a visit with Islanders mascot Sparky.
