Chess Club

This is the fifth year of St. Alphonsus / St. Patrick School Chess Club. The Chess Club meets on Wednesdays after school in the cafeteria for one hour. Students can still join from K-8... it is a great chance for girls and boys to do something at an any age but it presents a unique opportunity for our younger students because our athletics programs do not start until 4th grade. Currently our Chess Club has over a dozen members and has room for more!
