The Burroughs Chess Club starts back up on Friday, January 13. This will be the start of several Friday afternoon practices.
We really need parent volunteers for this Friday. The parent sign up is up and running. Each week, I'll send out an announcement for the next practice and will have a link to the volunteer website. We have several tasks for parents to cover, so please sign up.
There may be a few changes. We are talking with Vice Principal Catchings about getting access to another room because we are literally overflowing with kids on our side of the cafeteria. This may provide a chance for more focused instruction for those kids who are interested. I hope to have more details on Friday.
Upcoming Chess tournaments: If your child is enjoying playing chess and would like to try a tournament, you should look at the website of the School Chess Association. The tournaments are competitive, but they are great learning experience. We may try to have a Burroughs team at either the Groundhog Open on Feb. 11 or the Burnsville Open on March 10. Both are at Metcalf Junior High.
See you Friday.
Roger
