Chess Club

        Ward Elementary Chess Club began during the       2005-2006 school  year.  The club is open to all students from

Kindergarten through Sixth Grades. 

                There are parent recommendation letters sent home at

the beginning of the school year as an application for the club.  If a

student was a prior member, they are still considered a member and

do not have to reapply.

                Students are taught and given opportunity for practice

of the basic fundamentals of the game.  The club most often meets on

Friday afternoons. 

                There is a school tournament held in May each year with a room winner for each classroom declared and then a playoff for the school championship.  Room winners receive a Medal.  The school champion is awarded a trophy and their name engraved on the school plaque as well as a medal.  The plague is located on the wall beside the principal's office entry.
