Are you in Grades 7-9 and enjoy the game of CHESS?  Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 11, for an Allegheny Valley Chess Event in the SHS cafeteria.  This is for players of all ability levels.  We will use a winners-play-winners format.  You do not need to have a chess set to participate, but if you have one, please bring it with you.  We are also collecting food items for the Food Bank.  You can ask your Social Studies teacher or email Ms. Mellon for the registration link.
