Chess Club starts October 5th

Chess club provides students an opportunity to learn and play chess. An instructor provides a weekly lesson and will work with them on their games. Children who are interested can join Green Lake’s team at tournaments throughout the area.

When: Fridays after school until 4:00, beginning Oct 5th, in the library.

Who: Chess club is open to students of all grades. Girls are especially encouraged to join. We will take up to 22 students (due to limited space, and parental supervision) on a first-come, first served basis, giving priority to returning chess club members. If parents can volunteer, we can take up to 35 students.

Cost: $60.00 - which pays for the Chess Mates instructor(s) for the entire year. Those eligible for free/reduced lunch are exempt from fee; please note this if applicable.

More Info: greenlakechess@hotmail.com

Curriculum Night, September 20 @ 6:50pm

  • 6:50pm: Greeting in Library
  • 7:00pm: Teacher Presentations
  • 7:50pm: Teacher Presentations

This is a very important night! It starts at 6:50 in library with a brief greeting from our principal. Then each teacher will give two 40 minute presentations- one at 7pm and one at 7:50. This allows families with more that one child in the school to visit more than one classroom. The presentations are exactly the same. Sorry--children are not allowed at these presentations, but there is free childcare in the gym!
