Who We Are

by: Dunlap Elementary Girls

We are awesome soccer players,
We always stick together
We try not to give up we don’t have to worry
Because we have each other
We are POSITIVE and STRONG
And we always get along
We are kind and never mean
We do the right thing
By helping our community
We are determined to be your everyday heroes
When we do poems we like to rhyme
And when we play soccer
We have a good time!

What we want is compassion between each other
Smiling kids having fun
Enough equipment for everyone
Respect is all we need
Together is how we can succeed
Peace and love is what we will receive

We promote positive social interaction
Teaching games, while having fun
Making sure there’s something for everyone
Finding things we have in common
Doing good things
To help each other get along

Friday Poem of the Week!

Today's Friday Poem of the Week is titled "Lock Up Your Meanness" by My V. of Dunlap Elementary. Great poem My!

Lock Up Your Meanness
by: My V. of Maple Elementary

When you lock up your meanness
The sun rolls high through the wide sapphire sky
and the cloud makes a smile

When you lock up your meanness
Your dreams can come true
Like you wanna be the main event and full attention
like no person was before!

When you lock up your meanness
You set free a happy and joyful
Emotion in your heart

When you lock up your meanness
Your friends will always be there for you
and it feels like you’re in a heavenly spot light

When you lock up your meanness
It feels great like a garden had burst into life
with happiness and joy

That’s what happens
when you lock up your meanness
And throw it away

Today's Friday Poem of the week is titled "Love It, Share It, Hear It" by the Dunlap Elementary Girls team. Awesome poem girls!

"Love It, Share It, Hear It"

by: Dunlap Elementary Girls

Ruth, Mynisha, Fahima, and Diana
We’ll be here
To do the job
And play the game
If we’re gone
It won’t be a threat
We’ll come back the next day
And do the bet
It will be fun
As long as we’re here
To play the game
And do the cheer
Commitment’s the word
That we like to hear
When we play the game
It’s fun when we’re all here

SCORES we love it
SCORES we share it
Go SCORES, let’s hear it!

Jala, Hanni, So’onafai, Rohey
We will lead our team to victory
And we will lead our team to glory
That’s just part of our amazing story

SCORES we love it
SCORES we share it
Go SCORES, let’s hear it!


Even if we didn’t get to play
I would only have nice things to say
Without opponents it wouldn’t be the same
If we win we say “good game”
Sierra, Ebany, Sharlayna, and Yen
Girls Scores Team 2010
Winning doesn’t matter
When we all have fun together
Sportsmanship is what we wrote about
When our team scores a goal
We all SHOUT

SCORES we love it
SCORES we share it
Go SCORES, let’s hear it!


We kick the ball
Leslie Kay, Malaya
We score a goal
Amanda and Serena
We scream and shout
That’s what SCORES is all about
We like to play
And we always have an awesome day
