First-time skater Maëlle Lowe smiled as she navigated her way off the Kraken Community Iceplex main rink, careful to avoid frolicking classmates.
Fifth grader Lowe, 10, was among about 250 students from Lowell Elementary School taking part in end-of-school-year celebrations at the Kraken’s main practice rink, made possible by the team and its One Roof Foundation philanthropic arm. Though she’d rollerbladed before, this was the first time Lowe and many of her school friends had ever been on ice skates.
