The Lydiksen Chess Club needs enrollment! This coud be the last week! Please take a look at the benefits that were gleaned from the Berkeley Chess Club website:
"Though chess has been around for over two thousand years, new evidence suggests it is one of history's most valuable educational tools. In 1997 studies found that the hidden rewards for students of chess are surfacing on test results in reading, science, and math, along with findings that indicate growth in critical cognitive abilities such as deducing, hypothesizing, strategic thinking, logic, future thinking and judgement. Beyond academia, chess also appears to influence social behavior, including self-esteem, respect for others, patience and old-fashioned notions of good manners."
Let's keep Lydiksen School Chess Club going!

Drug Forum for 5th Grade Parents |
Many parents in Pleasanton assume that their children are not at risk for drug and alcohol abuse and that they therefore shouldn't worry. In reality, there is no specific type of youth who might abuse drugs and anyone is at risk.
Please join Pleasanton Police Department Officer Dawson and Mothers With A Purpose as they discuss the truths about drugs, alcohol and middle school.
The forum will be geared towards parents
with current 5th graders.
Questions? Please contact:
Sherri Jacob Walnut Grove PTA President @ president@walnutgrovepta.org
