Home Stretch !

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to repeat the announcements from last night as it can be just a bit loud in the cafeteria sometimes.  :)

We're in the home stretch of the scholastic chess season!  What I mean by this is:

• Last night was week #2 of our in-house 5 round tournament.  I think the students are doing a great job and having fun!  It also demonstrates that most of them really are ready for tournaments and could be playing in them.
• Feb 24, March 2 and March 9 will round out the tournament
• March 16 will be a pizza party to celebrate the year!  Leah will have more details in the next weeks.
• March 23 will be our last class !

Speaking of tournaments, there are only a few remaining!

• This Saturday is one of Mr. Matt's tournaments at ASA Clark - sign up by tonight!
• Saturday March 5 is the MSOE / WSCF Grade Level tournament - downtown Milwaukee
• good opportunity to play other kids ONLY in your own grade!
• note - you need to register online and early for this one.  In order to have the cheapest rate of $20, you must be registered by next Thursday the 25th.

• Saturday March 19/ Sunday March 20 is UW Oshkosh State Tournament.  If you have any questions about this one let me know!

It's been a great season so far, but let's keep it going during this home stretch and practice, practice, practice and play play play!
