Congratulations to all of our students and chess club players!

Thank you to all parents for your unwavering support!

Wizards of the Mind Chess Club had a great turnout with over 25 players participating in the NJ State Tournament. We thank Coach Robert for his help and guidance during the event. 20 Game Reviews were done and our chess club rallied and supported each other through the wins and losses of the 5 round marathon day of chess. Thanks to parents again for your patience throughout the long day!
