My Project

Chess is a wonderful game that teaches many things including logic, strategy and reasoning. Unfortunately, it does require some equipment that not all schools can provide. We need 4 Chess Heavy Tournament Triple Weighted Chess Set Combos.

We have students who have a passion to play and learn more about chess, but we need chess sets to make it happen for them!

We will meet as a club weekly to play chess. As we grow, students will have the opportunity to travel to tournaments to compete.

Thank you for considering this project! Our students will be excited to see the new sets!
