Signup for Chess Club for 2011-2012

We're starting to put together the plans for the Burroughs Chess Club for the 2011-12 school year. If you would like your child to participate, or if you would like to volunteer, please click on the link below and fill out the form for each child.

The PTA sponsored Burroughs Chess Club, which boasted over 100 kids last year, is looking to build on last year’s enormous success. The goal is to get as many kids to try chess as possible and maybe even help them compete in city and state chess tournaments. Here are the details:

• Open to all Burroughs students and all skill levels.
• Practices are tentatively scheduled for Fridays after school.
• Mostly, the kids play a lot of chess with new friends.
• No cost again this year! THANKS PTA!

We're initially planning on some informal practices after school on Fridays, possibly starting as early as December, but we need LOTS OF VOLUNTEERS to help with practices! I promise, you'll be amazed to see 100 kids, grades K thru 5, get excited about sitting down and playing chess against each other. You absolutely do NOT need to know how to play chess to help - just help them find someone else to play and be encouraging.

THANKS! And we'll see you soon:
