After School Chess Sign-ups
|
The Winter session will be held from January 5 through March 9 (ten weeks) on Wednesdays from 12:35 to 1:35. Grades K-5 are welcome (but not late K friends due to the time, sorry) **Note the class starts right after we return from Winter Break.
To register, go online to www.berkeleychessschool.org and choose the link on the left to "sign up for a class". The fee for ten weeks is $120 for the first child, and siblings are half price. However, the first parent to volunteer to assist the chess class by remaining in the room during the class will receive free chess for their child this session. No chess experience necessary! Parent volunteers are required to have fingerprinting and a TB record on file at the school.
