Congratulations to the students who participated in The Ninth Philadelphia Metropolitan Chess Tournament held at Meadowbrook School Saturday, November 14th. The 6 Meadowbrook School students listed below competed against other students from Philadelphia and surrounding area schools. The 85 players, ranging from Kindergarten through High School, followed the specific regulations of the United States Chess Federation. As each student played 5 games of chess with different opponents, hard work and concentration were key elements of the day. Congratulations Team Meadowbrook!
In order for this event to take place we would like to thank several members of our school community. Mrs. Grosso and Mrs. DiFelice created new street signs for our new guests to find their way to Meadowbrook School. We appreciate Mr. Gaines and the 6th grade students for setting up the tables and chairs in the gym on Friday. It was kind of Victor and Mr. Kasian to help Mr. Lakata set up the entire gym for the event Friday after school. We thank Mrs. Kiefaber, Mrs. Brogan, Mr. Brogan, Mr. Loney, and Mr. Reeves for helping Saturday to sell the food to our guests. We appreciate the efforts of Logan Keifaber to help to set up the Dining Commons early Saturday morning. Thank you Mr. Reeves staying after the tournament to help clean the Dining Commons and sweep the floor. After the event, Mr. Mosteller was kind enough to totally reorganize all of the tables and chairs in the storage room. Mrs. Strother and the students in the Extended Day Program did a beautiful job decorating the Dining Commons with festive fall scenes. Mrs. Katona made sure all of the student’s art work was carefully displayed in the gallery for all of our guests to enjoy.
Now we look forward to continuing to build our chess skills with Chess Club for 3,4,5,6 grade students on Friday afternoons and K, 1, 2, 3 grade students which will start in January on Tuesdays after school.
Way to go Meadowbrook Chess Team! Mrs. Mockaitis
