 Girls Chess Club

 Are any girls enrolled?

This recent question from a mother inquiring about a chess class for her daughter is not an unusual one.

According to Susan Polgar, in Chesscafe.com, the US Chess Federation loses girls at an alarming rate after 3rd and 4th grades.  
Jennifer Skidmore, Ann Arbor resident who is Scholastic Coordinator and on the Board of Directors for MI Chess Association, hopes to help change those statistics. Through Rec & Ed Jennifer is offering a Girls Chess Class for girls in 1st – 8th grades. Jennifer says the class will provide a safe environment, encouraging girls to learn and enjoy the game. jennyskidmore.jpg
