30 kids today, mostly screaming away. Great fun for most, though a few, like me, would prefer it quieter. Next up: team tournament hosted by The Waterfront School after-school (3:45pm-5:00pm) in the lunchroom, Thursday March 1. Four other schools have been invited to bring teams of 5 players. If you want to play for Waterfront, please tell Mr. Webbe immediately.
Second: University of Toronto will again host a team tournament organized by Chess'n Math Association, this time the ONTARIO Championship, on the weekend of March 3-4. On Saturday it will be Grades K-9, and on Sunday Grades K-6. Deadline for putting teams together is Wed., Feb. 28. Please let Mr. Webbe know immediately if you are interested. Teams are 4 players each.
Third: Our deadline for the TDSB Team Championship, to be held during school hours on Thursday, March 22 at Deer Park PS, is Friday, March 9. We need a team of 5 players, with at least one by and at least one girl. Last year we had 4 girls and one boy, the most girls of any school. Players will be chosen by merit, which means both chess skill and ability to represent the
school (i.e., behave responsibly). We would like one team in each of Grades 1-3, 4-6, and 7-8.
