Dear Mrs. Schultz,

We would gladly like to request having an after-school chess club.

Do you think our school needs more people to be friends? Games usually help people socialize. More students will learn it is fun just to play the game. This would significantly help develop better sportsmanship. Bullying is a major issue in a lot of schools, so if a chess club were to be organized, bullying would definitely decrease.

Secondly, kids would certainly enjoy school more. A chess club would have kids look eagerly forward to an activity after school. Some kids go home and do nothing at all, but an after school chess club would unquestionably make them interact with their family and friends more often than sitting on the couch and watching T.V. Also, it could become a hobby for your pupils. Some kids don’t like sports and are not doing many learning experiences so they can do this and not be sad.

Our final and most important reason is that we highly feel that it will greatly improve students thinking skills. Chess is a strategy game, which will especially increase kids’ brain power. Our group most definitely assures that kids will learn a new game and how the chess pieces move. Likewise, students will unquestionably begin thinking three steps ahead.

Hopefully you will consider our wonderful idea for an after school chess club

Your 5th grade students, Josh D. Kairas Adam M.
