This week we’re celebrating TWO outstanding students for their impact on our chess program — William and Sonny! ♟️
Mr. Wells shared, “Even before they were old enough to be eligible for the high school team, William and Sonny have elevated our chess program in words and deeds, challenging each other to do more and become more.
