Arena Hostess Dina and her sidekick Sparky The Dragon, headed into Queens bright and early Monday morning to kick off the first of 100 “We’re All Islanders” School Assembly Program at P.S. 150 in Sunnyside. The half hour assembly focuses on the importance of teamwork not only in sports, but in the world of education as well. Dina and Sparky stress the importance of teamwork to the young students through the use of a video of the current Islanders players and coaches talking about how they all work together, fun and interactive demonstrations involving students and teachers, and Dina drawing comparisons between the structure of the people in a school to the structure of the New York Islanders. Over 1,200 students filled the P.S. 150 auditorium over the course of three assemblies (9am, 9:45am, and 10:15am), with kids ranging from grades 1-6. The students learned while laughing and having fun as the assembly closed with a thunderous “Let’s Go Islanders” chant.  The loudest point of the assembly was when the students learned that they would be going home with an Islanders folder, pencil, and brand new Islanders comic book, as well as other information about the Islanders.
