Students got a visit from several members of the Tampa Bay Lightning Street Hockey team in May of 2018. The group included Jassen Cullimore, a member of the 2004 Lightning Stanley Cup winning team. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders attending the sessions each took home a hockey stick and ball to practice the skills they were taught during this visit. Proper use of the equipment was stressed.
