We had a great Fall Season, here are some of our highlights!


We started the FALL SEASON off with 
great weather and fun at Starfire!


 GAME DAYS





Game Days were a blast, rain or shine, Poet-Athletes played with heart, pick each other up when they slipped in the mud and cheered their teammates on!








 EVENTS


Roger Levesque, local authors and poets came together for our Barnes and Noble Book Fair Event! Through our Book Fairs we were able to raise enough money in giftcards to buy a book for each student in SCORES this Fall! We gave the books away at our 12th Annual Poetry Slam!






Town Hall Seattle was filled with inspiring poetry from Champion Slam Poet Nikkita Oliver and 137 America SCORES Seattle Poet-Athletes! Roger Levesque was a fantastic host and we had wonderful guest judges including Lamar Neagle of the Seattle Sounders!










SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC




The number one team in the MLS celebrated their 40th anniversary on October 10th. They also recognized their Community Partners and gave each a generous donation! We are so grateful for the tremendous support of the Sounders FC!
