Soccer, Spelling and SCORES at Summer Learning Day

On Tuesday, June 21st, we gathered at the Civic Center for the Summer Learning Day!  

Summer Learning Day was established by the city to celebrate programs that continue kids’ learning during the summer. It was hosted by The Summer Learning Network, and coordinated by Mo’ Magic.  

SCORES was joined by many other organizations, including our friend the San Francisco Public Library Bookmobile, and about 800 kids enrolled in summer programs across the city.

Over at the SCORES booth, players of all ages joined us to play soccer and try their hand at word games.  While some dribbled and passed with our coaches, other players found words in a soccer ball and learned about healthy foods. For successfully completing the games, players got to spin our poetry wheel to win some great prizes!

 It was great to see some of our SCORES poet-athletes, and to meet some new faces!

One Season in the Books

Last Saturday 11 teams of San Francisco Junior SCORES players and their families celebrated the end of their first soccer season at the Junior Jamboree. The event featured a round-robin style tournament, face painting, games and prizes, team picnics, awards presentations and more.

The San Francisco Library Bookmobile was on hand to check out books to the 197 student-athletes who came on board.  At the end of the event 2^nd graders pledged to move on to the 3^rd-5^th grade program. 1^st graders were thrilled to learn they had at least 4 years of SCORES ahead of them.

Congratulations Juniors on earning your first trophies!
