TAKE A DUCK TO CLASS: GRIBBIN ELEMENTARY
(Glen Cove, N.Y., January 7, 2010) –On Thursday the Long Island Ducks spent the afternoon with Ryan Mills and all of his schoolmates at Gribbin Elementary in Glen Cove. Ryan was one of four winners in the TD Bank Take a Duck to Class Essay Contest and as part of his prize he received a school wide assembly with QuackerJack and Atlantic League MVP Ray Navarrete. Ryan was very thrilled about winning the contest and decided to read his winning essay in front of the entire school. Ann Coughlin, Branch Manager of the local TD Bank in Old Brookville was there to present Ryan with a fifty dollar Visa gift card and congratulate him on his success. After the prize was given to Ryan, it was time for MVP Ray Navarrete to speak to the children about the importance of community and education. When the questions were over Ray and QuackerJack stayed with Mrs. Gallo’s 2nd grade class (Ryan’s class) in the gymnasium to sign autographs and take pictures. Each student in Ryan’s class was given a gift bag full of goodies courtesy of TD Bank.
