Chess

 
Below is a short description of the Chess enrichment activity to be offered in Fall 2010. This year for the first time, we are offering semester long activities only. Please note however that there are variable start dates and number of meetings dependant on the school calendar. Sign up for all activities will be VIA THE SCHOOL OFFICE and not directly to the vendor. Please complete the attached form and write your check payable to SSDS. NO CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND AN ACTIVITY UNLESS PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE IN FULL BY THE FIRST CLASS DATE. If the class does not make the minimum number of participants, the fee for that class will be refunded by SSDS.

CHESS (MONDAYS)
The director of the National Champion En Passant Chess Club, Mr. Gabriel Boyd, and his staff are excited to continue teaching Chess at SSDS. The En Passant Chess Club has chess programs at many schools in the area, including MICDS, Community, and Chesterfield Day. Additionally, Mr. Boyd is the Vice President of the Gateway Chess League. The basics of the game will be taught to the students that are not familiar with the game, as well as more advanced ideas and concepts for those students that already have chess experience. Mr. Boyd has led five teams to State Championship titles and several teams to National Chess awards. Students in the chess classes will have an opportunity to participate and represent Solomon Schechter School in many more chess activities locally, and across the country.
