"It'll be super cool. I remember being in middle school and elementary school and having different professional people come in. A Massachusetts native, Smith, who turns 21 this month, said some Boston Bruins players visited his classroom with the Stanley Cup after they won the trophy in 2011, and members of the Boston Red Sox came by his school after they won the World Series in 2013."
"The San Jose Sharks and the Sharks Foundation hosted a literacy-focused event as part of Reading is Cool powered by the Sharks Foundation, the organizations youth literacy initiative. Celebrini and Smith read to students "The Home Team: The San Jose Sharks" by Holly Preston and James Hearne and Johnston read "I Can Play Too" by Cammi Granato."
The San Jose Sharks and Sharks Foundation hosted a literacy event at Walter L. Bachrodt Elementary School featuring players Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and Zack Ostapchuk alongside Canadian Olympic medalist Rebecca Johnston. The event, part of the Reading is Cool initiative, included players reading children's books to students: Celebrini and Smith read "The Home Team: The San Jose Sharks" while Johnston read "I Can Play Too." Will Smith reflected on his own childhood experiences with professional athletes visiting his school, including Boston Bruins players with the Stanley Cup and Boston Red Sox members. The event concluded with a question-and-answer session moderated by Sharks play-by-play announcer Dan Rusanowsky, where students asked about favorite books and hockey.
