Great Performance by our Chess Club
The STM chess team competed in the Catholic School League Invitational Chess Tournament over the weekend. Open to 1st through 8th grade students, there were ten schools represented at the tournament. Seven of the twelve STM students competing this weekend received awards of third place or higher. Mr. Winslow, the club sponsor, was very excited about the team performance saying the team is young with 7 members in 6th grade or below. STM finished only ½ point behind the first place team. Go Tigers!
