WHAT: On June 1, over 1,450 District of Columbia public elementary and middle school students will celebrate the end of the DC SCORES spring season at Anacostia Park during the 18th Annual Jamboree!. The event will kick off with the elementary school City Cup championship games, after which DC Councilmembers Tommy Wells and David Grosso will present trophies to all the teams. The special guests will then help gather the 42 participating school teams together and begin a day full of soccer games, facepainting, poetry readings, and other activities. The students represent 42 DC public and public charter schools in all eight wards of the District and are part of the year-round, largest after-school program in the city. The Jamboree! is also attended by hundreds of parents, community members and partners of the nonprofit organization.
WHEN: Saturday, June 1 9AM – 2:30PM
WHERE: Anacostia Park (driving and metro directions)
DETAILS: The DC SCORES Jamboree! is highlighted by round-robin soccer tournaments for 42 elementary and middle school teams — both boys and girls.

There are also giveaways for both students and parents and autograph signings with professional soccer players.
DC SCORES builds teams through after-school programs for over 1,450 low-income DC youth at 42 schools by instilling self-expression, physical fitness, and a sense of community.
