AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS
Chess Club with Adelyn
For Grades 5th-8th
Chess club is where students can come together after school to learn and play chess together! Any level of skill is welcome! If you’re brand new to chess, we will teach you the basics and if you’ve played chess before we will learn and develop our skills together. I am by no means a chess master, but I’ve enjoyed chess since I was very young and appreciate the creativity and mental flexibility it encourages. So, come give the chess club a try!
