2010-11 Program Year Summary

It is hard to believe that our 2010 -2011 program year has come to an end.  It has been an amazing year!  I wanted to share this program year summary with you and demonstrate why we had one of the most successful program years since America SCORES Dallas was launched 2004.     
Open Mic Night

- We served over 250 students in nine schools in Dallas and Ft. Worth  

- We served over 500 students in over 20 schools in soccer clinics.    

- Two of our students were selected at our fall Poetry SLAM! to perform at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem.

- We hosted two Open Mic Nights at the Lakewood Starbucks with over 100 students, parents, teachers and supporters in attendance.   

- FC Dallas players, Eric Avila, Brek Shea, and Kevin Hartman led a soccer clinic at Stevens Park Elementary.    

Wyly Theater



 - Each team developed a neighborhood-specific service project this spring, which ranged from recycling to health and wellness education.    

- Our students recited their year-end poems and presented their community service projects at the Wyly Theater.    
Jamboree 

- Our students played their end of the year soccer tournament at the Cowboys Stadium with almost 1,000 in attendance. 

None of this would have been possible without supporters like you.  
  



Looking into the future, we have a number of exciting things developing - such as our growing collaborations with The Art Institute of Dallas, Big Thought/Thriving Minds, and Whole Foods.  As always we will continue to strive to serve more schools and offer the best program we can.  We appreciate your time, effort and contributions.  Ultimately, all the hard work is about the children and enriching their lives.  They represent not only our future, but the future of our community.  It is up to us to invest in our children and make a meaningful impact.

Thank you for making this a wonderful year and being a part of the solution.  We look forward to another year of growth

Yours in service,
