Meantime, Achieve Miami held a World Cup-inspired soccer festival at Arcola Lake Elementary School.
Students from three Miami-Dade elementary schools were brought together for a morning of inter-school soccer matches, drills and other games.
“We are looking forward to playing soccer, having fun with my friends, and having a good time,” said an elementary school student.
“With social skills for shy kids, and they have big buddies who help them throughout the day, who help them be open, and I just like that,” said an elementary school kid.
Leslie Miller Saiontz, founder of Achieve Miami, said the event builds teamwork and leadership skills.
“Coming together in commonality to celebrate soccer. Literacy, community, and everything wonderful that’s happening in our Miami,” said Saiontz.
