**Here are some clarifications for our Enrichment Program:**(9/3/2019)
- It looks like we have two Chess Enrichments.
- Chess on MONDAY AM is handled by a vendor, Chess Ed and has a fee of $99 which is geared more towards instruction, coaching and team play. You register for that through this link: http://www.walkerchess.eventbee.com
- Chess on TUESDAY PM is parent run and is just an opportunity for kids to practice playing chess. It is FREE and you register by filling out the attached form and you can either email it to Allen Alexander (Aalexander68@gmail.com) or leave it at the front desk with Beverly.
- Crafts & Yoga on Thursday PM – here is the link for registration: https://tinyurl.com/craftyogaF2019
