Community Corner

Chess Club for K-6th

Carlos Gilbert has a glorious tradition in chess, having been the dominant team in the Northern league for long periods, and often one of the top teams in the state. Carlos Gilbert's Chess Club has also been a place for lessons and relaxed play on Friday afternoons.

The CGE Chess Club will meet from 1:15-2:45pm after dismissal in the library, starting Friday, August 23rd. Please let your child's teacher know if they will attend Chess Club so the teacher can release them to go to the library at dismissal. Send an email to Mark Galassi mark@galassi.org to get on the list. Students from K-6 are welcome to join! K parents are required to attend; occasional volunteering by 1st-6th grade parents is highly encouraged.

Questions: email mark@galassi.org or telephone +1-505-629-0759 (voice only please).
