District Chess Tourney

Parker has an awesome group of athletic buddies that LOVE to play chess so Parker decided he would give it a whirl. He picked the game up quickly and qualified to compete in the District chess tournament for 4-5th graders. His Shaw team took 1st place for the 5th year in a row and Parker placed 18th out of 85 competitors. I was rather surprised how exciting and entertaining a chess tournament can be! We were there from 8am-3:30pm on a Saturday and we never got bored! Who knew!?!
