We kicked off middle school chess club today with 61 students participating! We had a lot of students learning the game for the first time and it was awesome to see the more experienced chess players helping our novice players. If you have a middle school student who would like to join chess club, encourage them to sign up with Mrs. Bos or Mrs. Bly!
