RUNNYMEDE CLUBS:

CHESS CLUB FOR GRADE 6-8 STUDENTS♟️

Mr. Reynolds is hosting a Chess Club for grade 6, 7, and 8 students starting on Monday, December 12 in the Library Learning Commons (LLC). It will continue on each Day 5 in the cycle until the March Break. There is no sign-up, but attendance will be taken each day. Students should eat their lunches in the cafeteria and then proceed to the LLC at about 11:40 AM for play. It is geared towards beginners and there is plenty of coaching to get started. Ideally students would attend consistently, rather than sporadically, and be motivated to play cooperatively with peers.

Let’s make some good moves!

SENIOR MATH CLUB
For the last couple months, a group of motivated grade 7 and 8 students have been solving a variety of math problems
