Teaching Chess at Public School 78

Every elementary school student I taught chess is special to me. While teaching at Public School 78 I hit a special milestone. I reached 500 elementary students in a school setting.

I attended their graduation and they broke my heart by surprising me with a cardboard poster with cards. They communicated how grateful they were for the work I did with them. I helped them control their behavior and increase their focus.

Some students even said they wanted to be a chess instructor!

It’s a blessing to have Mr. Romeo in our community. I have a store and sometimes his youth comes in and helps us out with stocking items. He’s be very helpful when we needed him.

I’ve seen young kings & queens grow in the last 5 years. It’s suppose to be a chess club, but they do so much more.
