WEIBEL CHESS
Yesterday,
Friday, May 26, 2017, was our annual Awards Banquet. At the end of each
year Weibel Chess parents hold ceremonies to celebrate our successes.
This year, as in the past three years,
Fahria Khan, led a group of volunteers to provide a wonderful affair.
Besides food drinks and ice-cream all the children received certificates
of their accomplishments and trophies of participation. I know there
are the silly naysayers that insist that participation trophies destroy
ambitions and future success for children. They have never been at
Weibel Elementary School that is for sure. Here success and
accomplishment follow the graduates for their whole lives.
We provided larger trophies and plaques for extra accomplishments such as Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player and Rookie of the Year. The attached photo shows the girls, minus one who slept through all the noise, who brought home our seventh girls national championship title this year. All children received door prizes based on ticket drawings that range from Lego Chess sets and Chronos Chess Clocks to chess key chains and wrist bands.
We now look forward to next season which will be our 30th year at Weibel Elementary School. We anticipate that once again 200 or so Weibel children will join us in one of the largest and the most successful public chess school programs in the nation. Our information and applications for the 2017-2018 chess year will be posted by the end of June on our webpage: http://www.WeibelChess.org.

Very well done to all the winners! I tried my hand at chess back in school, but since i was more inclined towards becoming an artist, chess didn't intrigue me. Paints and colors did.
