On Thursday, January 11, 2018, PS 329Q hosted a “Chess Night” for parents and students of the 329Q chess team. Parents got the opportunity to learn chess and play throughout the evening against their children.

This was a great event that allowed for parents to learn and support a positive activity for their children. Chess in the Schools applauds 329Q for organizing such a great event for their students and families.
