New York Islanders arena hostess Dina Tsiorvas and team mascot Sparky the Dragon paid a visit to Wheeler Avenue School to teach students a lesson on teamwork, healthy living and better decision-making.
The “Orange and Blue and You” assembly, a fan favorite with students and teachers across Long Island, showed students how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle and be the best they can be, as well as the importance of helping others. During the assembly, Tsiorvas and Sparky called students to the stage to help with demonstrations on teamwork. They held a balancing demonstration, where the children needed to work together to stack and balance foam hockey pucks for the chance to win free New York Islanders tickets.
Tsiorvas and Sparky effectively taught students why it is so important to practice teamwork in all facets of their lives. This fun and informative assembly program also included a video presentation with a special message from New York Islanders head coach Jack Capuano, and some great leave-behinds for the students, including New York Islanders school folders.
