There was extra excitement in the halls of Fassett Elementary this winter as members of the Express Varsity Lacrosse team stepped away from the field and into classrooms to celebrate Read for the Record, the district’s annual early literacy event.
The athletes visited Pre-K through second grade classrooms, reading picture books aloud and bringing stories to life with animated voices, smiles, and laughter. Students listened intently, sharing excitement about favorite characters and colorful illustrations. For many, having the older athletes reading beside them made the stories—and the day—feel extra special.
The lacrosse players also talked with students about the joy of reading and why stories matter, showing that books can inspire and connect readers at any age. 📚🥍 #GoExpress

The Express Robotics team competed against 70 other schools at the New York State VEX Robotics Championships. They finished the day with a 4-4 record, 13th in their division, and lost in the Round of 16. More so than their record, the students showed resiliency, teamwork, and problem solving at a high level. I am very proud of them.
