Sunset
By: Phung L.
Highland Park Elementary
Darkness descending over the evening sun
Fleeing birds wanting to rest
Gazing at its beauty
Colorless clouds above

Friday Poem of the Week
Today's Poem of the Week is titled "My Family" and was written by Judy of Roxhill Elementary!
My Family
By: Judy
Roxhill Elementary
My Mom is like a shining star
Her bright eyes shine.
My Dad is a tiger,
He guards and protects me
My sister is a golden deer
She makes me want to smile
My grandma is a tree
She helps me breathe
And me? Oh, Sorry,
I am an umbrella
Nice job Judy! Have a great long weekend everyone!

SCORES Reflections
We have compiled reflections by some of our SCORES poet-atheletes which show the power of the program, and epitomize the teamwork, leadership, and commitment shown by all of the SCORES poet-atheletes.
Here are some of the amazing responses:
A Reflection on Fall Frenzy
By A’Treu M. of Maple Elementary
"When I was on the bus I felt like I was rich. We played against four schools, Roxhill, Bailey Gatzert, Dunlap, and Highland Park. It was fun. Taylor Graham from the Seattle Sounders was there. We did really well on our cheer. We were given free soccer scarves and I was very thankful for it. It didn’t worry me if we were going to win or lose the games. I just wanted to have fun."
A Soccer Game with Dunlap School
By Justin Z. of Maple Elementary
"Dunlap School played an awesome soccer game, but we won the game. It doesn’t matter who wins because it is about teamwork and having fun everyday in SCORES. It was a cold and rainy Friday and visitors came to see the fun."
Friday Gameday
By Alfonso A. of Maple Elementary
"The game on Friday was awesome because we won. The score was two to zero. I made a goal and Jacy made one too, that’s why we won. But, soccer is not about winning, it is about having fun at the games."

Happy Valentine's Day
In honor of Valentine's Day we have a poem by titled "I Have a Heart in Me" by Andrew Q, 5th-grader from Highland Park Elementary.
I Have a Heart in Me
by: Andrew Q. Age: 11
Highland Park Elementary
I have a heart in me
That loves people
That cannot not love
That is a brave heart
That loves you
I have a dream in me
That wants to break free
That needs attention
That has to be shown to the world
I have a secret land in me
That has no poverty in it
And the stars shine so bright
And I live in that same world.

Friday Poem of the Week
Today's fantastic poem is by Dunlap Elementary 5th-Grader Anthony G!
Mi Casa es Tu Casa
By: Anthony G. Age: 10
Dunlap Elementary
My zip code is the great 98118.
People from all over the world live here together
To be part of the United States.
My apartment is surrounded by friends and family
We all get along happily.
I go to my primo’s casa to hang out
Legos, D.S., John Cena on R.A.W.
Is what its all about.
My tio says, “Toneeeyyy!” when I come in
Over the TV din
We made a clubhouse in the yard
All of us kids worked together very hard
With plastic bags and scrap wood.
It stayed up real good.
Outside on the 4th of July
Bottle rockets fly high in the sky.
When I see the fireworks I get excited
To be in an America United.
I go to El Nopalitos next door.
Phone cards and yummy barbacoa is what it’s for.
Vietnamese, Ethiopean, Filipino, Somali.
In my ‘hood the whole world’s there for me.
When I come home, I hear my dad’s clarinet
And my mom’s cooking my favorite.
My brother yelling, running from my sister
Chasing her Barbie.
My home is for everyone,
Especially for me.
