POTSDAM – The Fourth Annual Biographies with the Bears event at Lawrence Avenue Elementary School brought members of SUNY Potsdam’s Bears men’s basketball team to the school.

Team members recently visited the third-grade class of Mrs. Joanna Turbett to help the kids with a biography project.

Students interviewed the team members and then created biography posters based on what they had learned from the men.
