Worcester Sharks BE A LEADER program stops at Northbridge Middle School
November 20, 2008
Mike Moore, Derek Joslin, and Abigail Williams & Associates visit Northbridge Middle School
WORCESTER—As part of the "Be a Leader" program, Mike Moore, Derek Joslin, Sharks staff, and Abigail Williams & Associates visited Northbridge Middle School on Thursday from 1:00p.m. to 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 defensemen Mike Moore and Derek Joslin, 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 Joslin, a third-year Shark, took the lead at the assembly, addressing the students and sharing insights on being a professional hockey player.
“The kids have a lot of fun during the assembly,” 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, Joslin, 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, an autographed tip card and a “Be a Leader” promotional item 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.”
