My Project

Within the past couple of weeks, my students have been so excited about chess! Not only are they playing chess online any moment they can get, but are also researching best strategies and checking out chess books from our library.

Unfortunately, chess doesn't seem to be a popular hobby in this day and age, and I want to change that!

I hope to be able to provide my students with chess boards to be able to play chess in their downtime and free time.

Chess is such an amazing hobby as it teaches children problem-solving, strategy, and even some math skills. Help promote these skills and a love for chess by helping to provide us with some boards!
