After School Chess Program at Twain

9/1/2025 7:00 am

Twain PTSA is excited to offer Excel with Chess as an after school program starting October 1st through December 10th (no class11/24.) This program is a great way for students to learn chess or continue building their skills, develop critical thinking, and have fun with friends! All grades, K-5 are welcome!

The program will take place on Wednesdays, directly after school 2:25-3:30 p.m in the Twain Cafeteria. Space is limited so register early to secure a spot (registration ends 9/30). For more information or questions, contact audrey@twainptsa.org.

**Attention 4th and 5th grade parents**: this after school program conflicts with school play rehearsals. School play rehearsals are mandatory for participants, so please consider this before registering your student for chess.
