Weekend in Chess

Huge congrats to our girls' chess team for an amazing turnout at the New York State girls championship this weekend! After a tough day of competition for the k-6 team they continued to fight hard on Sunday and won the second place team award. Congrats Indira, Hilda, Sabella, and Meera!

We ended strong with  Ali coming in 9th in the k-6 under 900, and Emma placing second  in the k-1 championship! We also had two new team members, Rae and Eva, compete in their first ever chess tournament. Congrats everyone, you all did great! 

And the boys were not left out. Patrick won 7th place in the Epiphany fall chess tournament on Sunday.

This is how we do it

Not only does PS11 with @impactcoachingnetwork put together an amazing tournament, we also get great results! Congratulations to the team for placing first in the U1000 and third in the U300. A big day for Sabella with her  first place, perfect score win in the U1000 section, earning her a star. Emma was 8th in the U2000 and Ash was 9th in the U700. In the open section Joshua won his Quad. A big shout out to our hard working chess parents and incredible coaches for working tirelessly to make our PS 11 tournament a huge success.
