SUPER SATURDAY at McKinley

SUPER SATURDAY SIGN-UP:  We will be in the Multipurpose Room from 9 until about 3.   So far we have about 10 kids coming - I hope we can get at least 4 more!  Please reply to email and return attached form if you can make it!  This is a great event for beginners!

STATE FAIR RESULTS:

Great job at state fair!  While we lost a lot of kids last year to Whitman, it was fun to see them again - and compete against them at State Fair Park on Nov 23!  We showed we can still hold our own with our 5th graders (who now anchor our state team).  Our K-6 team of Lukas, Marissa, Charlie and Ben finished ONE POINT out of first!  McKinley's own Lukas Marik took 2nd place overall in the K-6 - great job Lukas!!!   Former McKinley player Zach Brunow from Whitman took first place overall. 

In the K-3 division, we had some kids playing in their first tournament - Owen, Priscilla and Stella.  Our full team of Carl, Owen, Priscilla, Stella, Anthony and Zachary took 2nd place.  Carl Borden led the team with 3 points, and Owen Ludwig also had 3 in his first tournament!  Great job!

UPCOMING TOURNAMENTS:

- Dec 14 - Nicolet Tournament, and also IAC's Muskego Melee on the same day (Uggghh) - this is a very tough decision, but I see Kyle is taking Whitman to Muskego, so let's head to Nicolet again this year.  We'll see them again at McKinley tournament.   Please sign up for Nicolet tournament at wisconsinscholasticchess.org!  Hope you can make it!

- Jan 11 - McKinley - our own tournament!  We are sending out a notice this week looking for helpers!  This should be a great tournament - our third annual!!   Please register ASAP on wisconsinscholasticchess.org - the earlier we sign up the more buzz we create.  Thanks!

DONT FORGET - the Big State Championship is at UW-Oshkosh March 21-22 - please keep this in mind - we will be fielding a K-5 team of course, and will again be defending our state championship!

Also - the Wisconsin GRADE LEVEL tournament is a huge one - right here in Milwaukee at UW-M on March 14th - you compete for a state championship against only the kids in your grade.  This is a great warm-up for state also.
