Poem of the week!

Tournament Day, Wow!

Having fun, that's what it's about,
Kicking, running, jumping, getting goals,
Making friends, and trying your best.
It doesn't matter if you lose,
It's about having the greatest day of your life.
Tournament day, wow!

Poem of the week!

My Hero

My hero is a she!
Her name is Coach Karen.
But they named her Coacher.
Her power is everything.
She could save people's lives.
If a team is short,
she will help that team.
She is good at forward.
She once saved a plane from falling.
She has magic.
Once a kid forgot to bring his soccer shoes for a soccer game
and she came with his shoes on her hand.
She could do anything.
She is friendly to everybody.
