Covert Avenue Fourth Graders Participate in ‘Bucks and Pucks’

To teach students the importance of financial literacy, Covert Avenue School hosted its first annual Junior Achievement event on March 15. All fourth-grade classes were visited by representatives of Dime Bank and Flagstar throughout the school day, learning various financial skills.

As a culminating event, Junior Achievement partnered with the New York Islanders to provide the fourth graders with an after-school street hockey clinic, Bucks and Pucks. Students were taught floor hockey moves by members of Islanders Street Hockey, an initiative designed to bring the sport of hockey to local community centers. The event promoted teamwork and collaboration, along with being a fun way to end the day.
