The RES Chess Club is currently making plans for an outdoor Wizard's Chess Competition. This would involve the students dressing up as chess pieces: Kings, queens, bishops, knights, rooks and pawns. Any parent who is willing to donate costumes (from Halloween or otherwise) and assist with the creation of a HUGE chess battleground for this greatly anticipated event is invited to contact Mrs. Wilson at 523-7152 a.s.a.p.
All interested parents and community members are invited to attend RES' first Playground Committee Meeting on Thursday, April 22 (Earth Day) beginning at 6:30 p.m. in our school cafeteria. Please join us for this meeting and bring your ideas for creating a safe and enriching environment in which our children can grow, learn, dream and play!
Good luck to our nine School/District 16 Chess Champions as they compete in the provincial Chess Tournament in Dieppe this weekend. Remember to think like Kings/Queens, Mates!!
Special thanks to RES' Home & School Association for presenting each of our Chess Champions with a $10 gift certificate to Burger "King".
