Two first year teachers, Evan Mirolla from INA and Aaron Aguirre-Castillo from O.D. Wyatt High School, have organized a soccer tournament for their students this Saturday, May 12. 

It will be played on the fields at O.D. Wyatt from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

This is the second tournament that these two Teach for America teachers have organized and hosted this year.  What’s especially neat is that many of the students who attend INA live within walking distance of Wyatt, and a number of the students who transition out of INA transfer into Wyatt.  So, it’s a way to bring students together and continue to build a support network of peers for these recent immigrants; not to mention it’s a day of sport and fun. 

Additionally, as we know, soccer is the number one sport everywhere in the world except the US, so it’s definitely a welcomed event for the kids.
