The CSA Chess Team is looking for a chess coach to teach interested students how to play, to help more experienced players develop their game, and to increase student interest in local chess tournaments.

This opportunity will start at the beginning of the 2018/19 school year, and volunteers must be registered for CSA with SBISD. If you are interested, please contact Jean Tanner at rapunzelj@hotmail.com for more details.

In the final chess tournament of the school year, the CSA chess team battled mightily. Mario Reyes, 6th grade, earned a trophy for 10th place in his section, winning 3 of his 5 matches. Cole Tanner, also 6th grade, won 2 of his 5 matches. We hope that next year, more chess players will join the team at tournaments, so we can be eligible for team trophies as well.
Thanks to Mr. Gregg, Mrs. Wright, Coach Gale Jenkins, parents, and the faculty and staff of Cornerstone for their assistance and support this year. We are looking forward to an even better year next year.
