My Project

Our students are obsessed with chess.

We have a few chess sets in our classroom for our students to use before school and during lunch that have become the most in-demand resources in our school.

I have students that I do not even teach coming to up to me to ask about the reservation process for securing a chess board during lunch.

Therefore, we have decided to organize a chess tournament that will be open to both our middle school and high school students. We are hoping that this tournament will foster community between our middle school and high school students and also continue to foster our students' love of chess!!!
