Annual ES Chess Tournament - April 7th (10:00-4:00pm)
From the Activities Office and Student Organizers (Antoni Kowalski and Sasha Markitan):
Chess is a battle, full of adrenaline rushes and courageous sacrifices. On April 7, ASW calls for all knights, kings, and queens to help us win and bathe in the glory of victory!
For an Elementary child to participate in the chess tournament:

1. Parents need to attend the meeting on Wednesday, April 4th at 1530 in the ES Tower
   
2. A parent/guardian needs to be on campus to supervise their child during the tournament
   
3. ES students need to know the rules and have experience playing chess
   

At the April 4th meeting, Mr. Antoni Kowalski will sort out teams, explain the rules of the tournament, and the game of chess. (Teams of 4 will be created by the tournament organizers.)
Lunch will be provided on Saturday for all players.

Moving Plans?
As we enter Spring, we begin to hear about families who are leaving ASW and won't be here next year. To help us ensure a smooth transition for your family, please email Admissions (a[email protected]) to let them know you will not be returning. From there, the ES Counselors and teachers will be able to plan for a positive transition to a new school and home, for your child.
