PS 11 At The Nationals!

This past weekend 20 of our PS 11 teammates competed at the United States Grade Nationals held in Orlando, Florida. This was our largest Nationals team in program history! 

Competing against top players and teams from across the United States, PS 11 once again delivered and was awarded as one of the countries top chess programs.  Our 1st grade team placed 8th and our 5th great team won the 9th place trophy.

This is our 7th consecutive year earning Top Grade National honors. We also had both Emma and Aarush receive individual recognition!

A special thank you for the continued support from our amazing PS 11 PTA, administrators, coaches, parents and the entire PS 11 community!
