The Chess club needs YOU! Register today to keep the club.
Calling all budding Kings and Queens to one of Colorado’s premier
chess programs! With new lessons for returning students, our creative
curriculum brings humor, stories, and "chessercizes" to help students
apply lessons on and off the board. Chess education has been shown
to help kids improve logic, math, and reading comprehension skills.
Students calculate options and evaluate consequences, learning to
overcome obstacles and practice visualization techniques to think
ahead. Whether playing in our scholastic tourneys or with family and
friends, kids love learning with PALS because we make chess FUN!

Manning STEAM Solar Car Club!
Following popular demand, Manning will be running a second STEAM Club for the rest of the spring semester, for 8th graders only. Ms. Maud, Ms. Schwindt and Mr. Fulton will be working together to lead students in designing, constructing, testing, and racing their own model solar- or battery-powered cars as part of the NREL Middle School Car competition.
The club will meet on Wednesdays starting February 15th in Ms. Maud’s room until 4:30pm. There will be a $30 fee per student to cover the costs of materials, t-shirts and any other expenses.
The club will culminate with the regional NREL competition in late May. 8th grade students who are interested should go to Ms Maud’s room after school on February 15th for more information. Competition details can be found on NREL’s website: https://www.nrel.gov/about/car-competitions.html
