Upcoming Tournament

OK. So, on top of the Media Specialist duties that I have, I also sponsor the Chess Club. Our team is combined with teams from the Middle School and High School and also a team from a neighboring elementary school. We compete 4 times a year at the Ogeechee River Scholastic Chess Association (ORSCA) tournaments. 

We began in 2011 and immediately began winning trophies and showing out! And we have continued to wrestle for first place each year since!

Now, I don't play chess. I am more of a Scrabble kind of girl. But, my kids play chess and apparently many kids at school like to play.

Our first tournament of the year is coming up in a couple of weeks, so we are working hard to get ready. I never know how well we will do for the first tournament of the year, because old students leave and new ones come in. I am oblivious to their playing ability until we get to that first tournament - I do have a coach that comes in and teaches the kids how to play - they aren't just fooling around trying to learn on their own.

Well, wish us luck!
