Through partnership with 99% Sports, The Elisabeth Morrow School is excited to host a new sports program on its beautiful 14-acre campus that will serve families across our local community.

An Alignment of Missions
The goal of 99% Sports is to create a community where all athletes and participants are able to pursue a greater version of themselves. The 99% signifies our room for growth. We aim to create a supportive environment where growth is organic. By maintaining this environment, both we and our athletes improve through consistent pursuance of our final 1%.
The EMS Auxiliary Sports Program is where strong foundations for a healthy mind and body begin. Our philosophy and dedicated team of professionals cultivate a healthy attitude toward sports and physical activity, individual goal-setting, and celebration of progress.

Use of Participant Likeness and Creative Works
By enrolling at The Elisabeth Morrow School and/or in any program run by The Elisabeth Morrow School, students/participants and their Parent(s)/Guardian(s) authorize the School to use the student’s/participant’s photograph, images, likeness, voice, writings, and statements in School publications, including the School website and other public communications, without restriction or compensation unless the Parent(s)/Guardian(s) provides EMS with a written document notifying EMS of its desire not to have the student’s/participant’s photograph, images, likeness, voice, writings and statement in school publications, including the EMS website, and other public communications. Such authorization survives the term of this Agreement. Opt-out requests will not apply to group photographs, videos, or other recordings of group activities, but individual participants will not be identified. Students/participants may appear in photographs, videos, or other recordings of group activities, but individual students/participants will not be identified or focused upon.
Should the student/participant or their Parent(s)/Guardian(s) wish to opt out, they must provide the School with a written document expressing their desire to exclude the student’s/participant’s photograph, likeness, writings, and statements from School publications, including the School website and other public communications, at the time of enrollment. It is the policy of The Elisabeth Morrow School not to identify any students/participants by name — either first or last — in these circumstances. For example, on occasions when a student/participant may be identified, it would be as “a first grader” or “a member of the sixth-grade science class.” Faces may appear, but they will never be identified beyond a category.
When students/participants are referenced in publication text (not photo captions or social media captions), the School may indicate a first name and last initial in the context of a larger story or a quote they shared, without a photo reference.
