My Project
As our world becomes more and more digital, even the youngest of scholars have to spend a large amount of time in front of screens. Please help me give my students a break from their screen time and learn how to play one of the most universal games out there: Chess.
Studies show that not only is Chess a fun and engaging activity, it also has many benefits on the brain.
It helps with critical thinking skills, develops creativity and flexibility, builds confidence, helps you focus, and my all-time favorite, brings students together and helps them form positive relationships.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
