Last week's Dalton K-1 Friendly Chess Tournament was a wonderful success! A total of 74 students participated, making it one of our most vibrant early-year chess events.
We extend our thanks to the 11 Middle and High School student volunteers who supported the tournament, as well as to our dedicated parent organizers. This event was co-organized by the Chess Department and parent volunteers, and all proceeds were contributed to the Chess for Life Fund to support the Dalton Chess Team.
The Friendly provided our youngest players with a fun, supportive introduction to tournament chess, and their enthusiasm and sportsmanship made the evening truly special.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this community event possible. We look forward to many more chess opportunities ahead!
