My Project

We have recently started a chess club at our school. It is amazing to see our students embrace this new game and take it on with such confidence! It is our hope that they will continue to play, as well as practice some at home.

We would love to provide each student with a chess strategy book so that they can continue to improve their skills and challenge themselves, even if no one is available to play with them.

They are so enthused with this game and as we spread the culture of chess around our building, we would love to continue that enthusiasm.
