Write A Check, Mate! Chess For Kids!

Help me give my students chess and checkers sets. They love to play!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Osborn's classroom raised $174

My Project

The mornings in our school are like Grand Central Station. Students buzz around the school building participating in different activities, checking out new library books, and getting help in tutorials. On a whim, I put out a chess set in the library, and the students flocked to it. Crowds would gather around to watch two students compete.

I am hoping to acquire more chess sets to give more students the opportunity to learn and play this incredible game!

Our students are amazing. We are a magnet school for high achievers, and they love to compete, learn, and play.
