More Cancellations - have a Great Summer!

More cancellations -
  • State Elementary (which was scheduled for next weekend 3/21-22) is cancelled
  • Tomorrow's Medical College Tournament here in Tosa was also just cancelled.
  • Next week's final chess class at McKinley is cancelled
Chesskids is still safe from the Virus!  We are hoping to hold some online tournaments for the kids.  Ideally we can even have a State Grade Level tournament online!  Bob is working on that.  We will also be holding a few other online tournaments - I'll post the schedule. 

For the chess class, with state being cancelled, we will end our season with yesterday's class.  Please congratulate your kids for a great chess season!  We have a young team with some VERY promising young talent, and a bright future.  I'll be sending out something in the coming weeks to recognize some kids who really put in the work this year.

For the kids in 5th grade who are going onto Whitman, we will be continuing that program next year.  Under Kyle Jain's instruction, that club has been extremely successful!  Our goal in a few years is to start a Tosa West Team and a run at some state High School Varsity championships.  

Wishing all the McKinley Chess families a SAFE, virus-free, Summer.
