Hope the principal get the boot for playing games with these kids.
The Bronx Bombers really should be proud of the job they have done in the name of their coach and team. This was a lesson for history.
You should always stand by your principle and keep the faith when you know that you are correct. The students look real great and they look intelligent also. The whole world must recognize the Bronx Bombers from the South Bronx in N.Y. Klein and Bloomberg must pay attention. Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year to the Bronx Bombers. Good luck in 2008.
This team looks like a group of students from many different backgrounds. They have a good mixture of males and females. Their grades are great and they are ambassadors from the South Bronx. I don’t know how the the princiapl, Kerry Castellano, can sleep at night when only three students went to play in Texas at the Grade Nationals. She sounds like a very cold person and if that is true then she is unfit to lead that elementary school of over 1400 students from the inner city.Those students need someone with a heart that understands their situation in America. This trip was a dream come through for these students and they were denied that opportunity because of a foolish principal. What a shame!
I just want to tell the Bronx Bombers that the world is on their side and justice will prevail. Good always conquers evil. Keep the good work up my friends.Much success in the new year.
This is very unfortunate how the principal basically prevented the kids from going to the Nationals, which was basically a dream come through for them, and they enjoy the competition a lot. I coach in that school and I see how much they want to get better and how well they respond to chess, and how much desire they have to play. Unfortunately Ms.Castellano doesn’t support chess as much, and that hurts the students. Hopefully, the kids will have a good future, and hopefully we’ll be able to come to Nationals.
Why in America, the public school system put insensitive principals to lead our schools? This is very dangerous for the future of this country. Our children are our fuure and we should treat them with care.
We need to email Chan.Klein and Mayor Bloomberg and let them know that we still have the problem in the South Bronx. They need to clean up the situation in the South Bronx. We can not play with so many lives and the parents must fight for their children. The community around the school must also participate in this process to free this school of this princiapl. Together, you can make change happen. Much success in your future actions. We admire you guys in the South Bronx.
The chess players from P.S. 70 are looking great. We are very proud of these future leaders of our country. Remember, you are role models for children all over the world. Don’t you ever give up. Keep the N.Y. spirit. We admire you.
What are some of the facts about this powerful chess team? The principal is a foolish woman. She doesn’t believe in these students and their potential. The chess team never made it to Texas. Only three students went to Texas. The parents and the students stood for principle and not the principal. The community wants the principal out of her position. The team is backing their coach, Mr.Alejandro 100%. He is their motivator and inspiration. You guys keep the faith and be strong. Season greetings to you guys in the Bronx.
I can see that chess has a positive impact on these students. Chess will teach them many lessons they could utilize in all parts of their lives. They actually were able to stand up to their principal and show the world how unity could be used for something positive. You guys are a symbol of hope for the less fortunate in our society. Stay strong and keep on working to be the best. I wish you all the success for the new year.
I love your newsletter and I think it was a great idea to keep the world informed about your team’s developments. The pictures look outstanding. Continue to keep us inform on your team’s developments. We are behind you Bronx Bombers. Good luck with the development of your chess players.
I was wondering what happened to the Bronx Bombers. Nice to hear that you guys are moving forward for the children. Never give up on your dreams my friends. You are true to the game of chess. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Make sure the media hears your story for the new year. We are proud of you.
The principal of P.S. 70 must look into the mirror and ask herself if she can continue as the principal at 70 under theses circumstances. It will be hard to lead if the masses believe that you are not honest with them. Something has to be done soon.
We must try to save these precious lives. Chess is to important not to help in some capacity. The students are depending on the adults around them to find a solution. Good luck in the future.
Good things come to those that wait. You have shown the world that long term goals are better than short terms goals. Like in the game of chess, the objective is to check mate your opponent. Make sure your community is behind you in what ever you do. The students are gifted and talented. They look very attractive and focus. The leaders in N.Y. must recognize this tragic event and correct it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the Bronx Bombers.
How could the principal say that the team went to Texas and only three players attended that event? This was a tragedy in the Bronx. She is unfit to lead that school. Her decision making process is a disgrace. She never wanted those students to do well. She has to go for the new year. Start the process my friends. We are all with you. Good luck with your future plans.
You guys are the greatest. You may have created a dynasty in the Bronx. Keep your values and maintain your standards. Don’t let anyone change your mission. The children in the South Bronx need this type of program to reach the stars. Chess is one of the answers in this puzzle. Happy holidays to the Bronx Bombers and a Happy New Year.
You guys are now famous because you stood up to the establishment and you are still strong. Everyone admire you for standing for principle over the principal. Stand by what you know is right. The children are learning a big lesson in life. Keep up the good works and remember the children are our future leaders. Give the Bronx Bombers our love from across America. I want to be part of your team. Stay strong and fight for your rights.
Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. This is everyones’ fight because the children all need our help. We should never play with the lives of our children. This trip was a big deal for these inner city children. They worked over time to do well in that tournament in Texas. The world didn’t get to see how well the Bronx Bombers would have performed in Texas because of their principal. She was very insensitive towards the students. How could the children go to a national chess tournament without their coach? That was a big joke and I’m glad they decided not to attend without their coach. I guess she was shock they didn’t go to Texas. They defended their coach. Good job Bronx Bombers. Much success in 08.
Today is Christmas and I must say that the Bronx Bombers are a team to be reckon with in 2008. They have their parents mobilizing for them in the name of the students. This is very rare in these times and they should be commended for it. Keep the pressure on and keep the good work up. Unity is always a good thing. Good luck in the future and we hope to see guys at the nationals in May. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This could only happen in New York. There are some crazy folks in N.Y. and we need to keep those folks in check. Especially when they are around of children. Don’t let this principal get away with this type of behavior because she might try it again in the future. Fix the problem when you have to fix it so it doesn’t come back to hurt you. Set the children free. We are with you.
I just wanted to tell the Bronx Bombers that we admire you guys. You made us proud when you refused to go to Texas without your coach. Stay focus and fight for your rights. I’ll look out for you in 2008. Good luck my friends. Chess is a great game for the mind. Study your school work and become the best in what ever you do in life. Use chess as a vehicle to get success.
This is the first time I’ve seen an elementary school that played chess challenged the system like this. You should be recognized for showing America that standing for right is the right thing to do. The newsletter looks great and you should continue to produce more newsletters to keep the world inform. We are with you Bronx Bombers. Try to improve your chess play and try to be your best. Happy holidays to you. Fight a good fight my friends.
The Bronx Bombers are very large. They should be very proud of the job that they have done. The principal will now respect their rights to determine their own destiny. This is one of the greatest principles we could teach these students at a young age. We need to see more of this behavior across America. We are losing respect around the world because we don’t stand for great principles. The Bronx Bombers are role models for children around the world. Turn a negative into a positive and realize your true potential in life. I hope to hear from you soon. Have a wonderful new year together in the Bronx.
