Chess Club and NEW! Chess Class

This year, Estes will be offering chess to our students in two formats:

This will take place Thursday mornings from 7:15-7:45 in the auditorium (theater) starting September 6th. This is a great opportunity to be introduced to the game of chess and to find opponents in your skill range.  There is no cost to join chess club, but you do need to fill out a registration form.  The first 50 students to express interest will be invited to participate.

Taught by experienced chess teacher Mr. Bruce Roth, chess class will take place on Thursdays after school starting September 6^th.  Class will run from 2:30-4:00pm.  Children will have 45 minutes of instruction and 45 minutes of playing time.  Each parent will be asked to supervise the non-instructional portion once during the year.  The class cost will be based on enrollment, but is expected to be about $100 a student for the year, to include instruction at and preparation for any tournaments.
