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!

I’ve been knowing Mr. Romeo for over 15 years. He has seen my children grow up. he has taught them chess and basketball. Sat down with my boys and mentored them and kept them off the streets. He’s been a great access to my family. Keep up the gd work Young Kings & Queens Chess Club we need you!
