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!
Romeo is setting an example for our kids and the community.
Romeo empowers the kids to think and desire to learn.
So glad to have Romeo in our community.
As a senior player, I got an opportunity to play with other seniors and young adults. It has been years since I’ve played and I was grateful for the chance to meet other chess players. Seniors and young adults; experience and novice players were excited in anticipation of the on-the-board challenge. I adored every minute. Although this was a 4-week session, it was extended for another week due to popular demand! Thank you, Mr. Romeo for bringing this community of chess players together.
