Additional Thursday Chess Club Added

Dear SPE Parents, 
The interest from SPE has been too great to allow so many smart kids to sit out from chess club! The school has agreed to allow us to add a second group in the library from 3:05-4:05 pm on Thursdays.
You can register on our website here – the cost has been pro-rated for 9-weeks. We will end on May 4th now, because of today’s “inclement weather” day. Students will be checked in at PNA or you should plan to pick them up in the front of the school at 4:05 PM.
