A chess challenge is open to kindergarten through fifth-grade students in the Beaverton School District from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30 at Fir Grove Elementary School, 6300 SW Wilson Ave.
Chess is a way for students to learn essential life skills for success in the classroom and beyond. Chess for Success, the only program of its kind in Oregon, is a leader in after school education.
Children who do well at the regional tournaments qualify to compete in the Chess for Success State Championship Tournament March 12 and 13 at the Oregon Convention Center.Source:
