Chess Club Starting Soon!

The after-school chess club will be starting up in two weeks on February 25. Meetings will be held after school from 3:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. every Monday for 5 weeks (February 25-March 31). The Monday of March 17th we won't meet due to Spring Break. Any student who attends Harriet Middle School and wishes to join is welcome to sign up. We will serve snacks at every meeting.

The sponsors of the club will be me and Mr. Winchester. We also welcome any teachers or parents who would like to help out and get involved. If you do not know the first thing about chess, do not worry! We will go through the basic steps together and team up in pairs. Spread the word to your friends. I hope to see you there!

Note to the Parents:

Parents,

This is a great opportunity to get involved in school activities! I would love to have some volunteers help out. Any parents can also help out by signing up to bring a snack for one of the meetings.

I would also like to mention that the chess club is a wonderful program and has helped students in the past with logic and reasoning skills. One of the goals for the chess club is to help students improve upon these logic and reasoning skills and help them relate it to learning in the classroom.

Again, hope to see you there!
