Chess Tournament

We are a little late on reporting this… on Friday February 26th, 24 of our students in Grades 5-8 participated in the Optimists Club Regional Chess Tournament.  We are very proud of all our students’ sportsmanship and support of each other as they competed against students in other schools in York Region.  We would specifically like to congratulate seven of our students who were successful at the tournament and will participate in the Provincial Chess tournament on April 17th:
In Grade 5:
Andy C. placed 3rd; and David Y. was 1st overall
In Grade 6:
Nicholas C. placed 3rd and Daniel C. won 1st place overall
In Grade 7:
Paul Z. was 4th place, and Timothy D. placed 3rd
And in Grade 8:

Thank you to Mrs. Harikrishin and Mrs. Esho for their support of the students leading up to the tournament and a special thank you to Mrs. Esho for supervising the students at the tournament Friday. Congratulations to all our participants!
