Chess Club Comes to Cottage Hill!
Mr. Walsh is bringing back the Chess Club to Cottage Hill beginning next Wednesday. No prior chess experience is necessary; this is a great place to learn the game or to have friendly competitions if you already know how to play.
Go to the chesskid.com website to sign up for a free account. Put Mr. Walsh's email down as "guardian" and he will put the students in the right clubs (
