The National Poetry Slam is under a month away and our poet-athletes are working hard to perfect their masterpieces before the big event. Anh T. and Alejandro C. of Maple Elementary are the two students who will represent Seattle at the America SCORES National Poetry Slam! in the Big Apple on April 11 at the legendary Apollo Theater. Anh and Alejandro will go on this all-expense paid trip to New York City with SCORES coach Trevor Stevenson and everyone is bursting with excitement for the big day in April! Here is a little more about Anh & Alejandro:
Anh T, Maple Elementary School5th grade, 11 years old
Mom
You are my friend, my heart, my soul
You are the best friend that I know
You teach me how to do things right
You make the world bright at night
You taught me right from wrong
You were the one who showed me how to be strong
You told me to reach for Mars
I hope that I become the woman that you are

I am from Maple Elementary

I am from My Mother’s Heart
I am from the dirt
I am from an evergreen tree
I am from America
