The students at the Mather Elementary School in
the Fields Corner area of Dorchester have been hard at work both on the field
and off during this semester with America SCORES Boston. The Mather Elementary School has a lot
of history, and carries the distinct honor of being the first public elementary
school in North America. Their school pledge encourages the same values
that America SCORES emphasizes to its poet-athletes in classrooms and on soccer
fields all across the country.
Mather School Pledge:
I must work hard today
Get smarter in every way
Helped by my teacher, my family and my friends
If I make some mistakes
I have what it takes
To keep trying ‘till I really succeed.

For their service project this semester, the students at Mather have decided to
collect money to purchase and donate books to the St. Mary's women and infant
shelter in Dorchester.
Located just
a half mile from the Mather School, St.
Mary’s Center for Women and Children offers innovative services for young
families who are grappling with poverty, partner and
community violence, and other traumas. St. Mary’s works to break
the inter-generational cycle of poverty and provides women and
children with the resources and skills they need to help them build productive
and healthy lives in their community.

Schools weekly soccer match!
