the project
The program will fill a need for enrichment for elementary age students by introducing them to the game of chess. Educators cite research showing that chess helps students develop analytical thinking, set goals, concentrate for extended periods and learn to delay gratification. The program will provide an opportunity for students to learn and enjoy chess. As the program will take place in April, May and June, graduates of the program can continue to play together through the summer months, A long range goal is to generate community enthusiasm for the program in order to raise funds to provide a school wide chess program at PS
