Chess
Club at Frank Love is well under way. The kids are having some
challenging games and we are seeing an improvement in skills. A few more
have won official “challenge matches” against some of our most competitive
players. Congratulations to those players! Chess club will resume
January 5th, 2012. Take some
time to play chess with your kids, or play with relatives. Happy Holidays!
Ms.
Martin has signed on as our newest official Chess Club Coach. A big welcome
and thank you to Ms. Martin! With 72 students, we are still in need of
more volunteers. If you can make it even for just a few of the meetings,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Chess
club is from 3:10-4:10 on Thursdays in the school library. In order to
maintain peace, we ask that parents please wait outside of the library until
the students are dismissed. We present the good sportsmanship award and
often have announcements in the final minutes of chess club. If you need
to pick your child up early, please fill out the early release form that should
be on Mrs. Newton’s desk.
On
January 8th, Frank Love Chess Club has reserved the meeting room at
the Bothell library from 1-3. This is a chance for kids to come and play
with their families and friends in a more casual atmosphere. Shelton View
Chess club and their families have been invited to join us to add some new
players to the mix. Please join us for
some chess fun.
There
are many tournaments coming up and we would love to see our Frank Love Chess
Team in the competition. Last year we came in 2nd and 3rd
in a few tournaments. Will we make it to first place this
year? Below is a list of tournaments in the Bothell area. You
can sign up by going to www.chess4life.com .
