Our Chess Club began as the school year 2002–2003 was drawing to a close, a small group
of students became very interested in playing chess. At the
beginning of the 2003–2004 school year we began to develop the
criteria needed to begin a Chess Club. The Chess Club started
with fifteen students. Our Chess Club has now grown to twenty-six students
participating. The
Chess Club meets every Wednesday during enrichment class.
Math, higher-order
thinking, evaluation, and strategy are just a few of the skills that
are developed and challenged in the game of chess. We would
like to encourage other schools in our county to develop a Chess
Club. This would enable all students in the county who are
interested to experience the world of chess.
