Seattle SCORES develop programs that use the world's most popular sport, soccer, to energize and inspire public school students. These programs require that our children use the teamwork they learn on the soccer field to support each other as poets and authors in the classroom. The combination is unique and it works. Every day, SCORES programs are creating a bond between thousands of our students and their classmates, their teachers, their schools and their communities!

The Putnam Foundation is teaming with Seattle Scores to expand the program to Emerson Elementary Soccer for the 26 week combination of soccer and reading, where 2-3 days a week are dedicated to soccer and 2-3 days are dedicated to tutoring and reading comprehension. This is currently the only after school sports program at Emerson Elementary. This program will work to build responsibility, skills and a sense of teamwork in the kids. This type of long-term program will have lasting effects for these kids, most of whom, have never participated in an after-school sport.

We would like to invite you to come out to a game and route on "our" Emerson Team.
