The Wade King Chess Tournament will take place Saturday, March 7, so check yourself before you wreck yourself and register your kiddos! Registration is $20 per child @ https://chessreg.com/king.

This annual event is open to all local children, Kindergarten through 8th grade, including homeschoolers, and all skill levels. While this is an all-day affair (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.), we offer pizza, a bake sale hosted by the PTO, and additional concessions for purchase.

An awards ceremony will end the event at approximately 3 p.m.

Questions? Email monika@wadekingpto.org.
