Encompassing the themes from the Malden Reads book selection, "Outcasts United" by Warren St. John, the Soccer Extravaganza celebrated diversity, community, teamwork, sportsmanship, and making a difference.

It was a day of fun for all ages. These photos captures just SOME of the moments from the Malden Reads Soccer Extravaganza, co-sponsored by Malden Youth Soccer. The event was held on Sunday, April 29th at the Salemwood School. Many thanks to the Malden Reads Core Committee and volunteers, Ken Antonucci & Malden Youth Soccer, MATV, the Partnership for Community Schools, the Malden Public Library, DJ Joey Walker, and everyone who participated.
