Ellis High School/Junior High

Hey all, as part of the EHS/JH Chess Club we are starting an official tournament team. This team will travel to different schools in Kansas to compete! This is an opportunity open to both High School and Junior High. We have some tentative dates for tournaments in the work that will be announced soon. But, our club has been invited to the 1st annual Ellinwood Invitational Tournament on October 4th. So, if your student is interested in being a part of this tournament team (I’ve already talked to several club members about this opportunity) then please reach out to me mdavenport@usd388.com to let me know. I will get a GroupMe put together and we can get a date for a parent meeting before that first tournament date. Thanks!
