WEST CHESS CLUB

 

 

Dear Parent/Guardian:

 

We are pleased to announce that Chess Club will be starting on
Wednesday, December 12th..

 

West Elementary Chess Club is a social club, which will meet Wednesdays
at 8:00 am in the school cafeteria with chess as its focus. We start off
with a few minutes of instruction and discussion of the history of the
game. The students can then play, usually with a friend, then, with
encouragement, engage in a game with other children of the same skill
level. It is a very noncompetitive atmosphere that works well.

 The benefits of chess are numerous. Children can improve their math and
reading skills as well as problem solving and critical thinking skills.

 

 This can only happen with the help of you, the parents. The club is
entirely staffed by parent/volunteers, and volunteering is one of the
requirements for your child to participate. In the past, parents that
volunteered were scheduled for only 5 or 6 days per year. Please
consider participating whether you know the game or not.

 

Students from grade 1 through grade 5 are welcome. The club has beginner
and more advanced groups. We are restricted to a limited number of
students, directly related to the number of parents who participate.

 If interested, please complete and return the form below no later than
December 7th. Club dues are $5 to cover the cost of supplies. Please
include a check (payable to the West Elementary Chess Club) with the
returned form..

 

 If you have any questions feel free to call 

Sincerely,

 
Lyn Dwyer & Sean/Lisa Paige
