Spanish Oak's very own second grader, Carter B., took 6th place at the Art City International Chess Tournament on Saturday.  There were 28 other second graders, and Carter was SO excited to get a trophy! Thank you, Carter, for representing our school with pride.

Carter's mom reports, "Carter was on our chess app on the phone learning tricks and practicing intently in between each of the 5 rounds.  He was totally in the zone all day and told me he 'wants to go to every chess competition ever.'  I'm pretty sure we have more tournaments in our future!"  Congratulations, Carter ... check mate!!
