Chess Club hosted by Mr. Hukkinen will begin on Thursday, September 4 for students in grade 3 and above. This year, students will practice perseverance by working through challenging positions and games, and they will grow in courage by making bold moves and learning from mistakes. They will show courtesy and a spirit of service by respecting their opponents, helping younger players, and supporting one another in growth. Through honest play and the self-government needed for focus and discipline, they will come to see chess as a way to strengthen both mind and character. This group meets Thursdays 3:45-4:45.
