Chicago Tribune Columnist Applauds CCF Efforts

 

Chicago Tribune Columnist Mary Schmick has profiled CPS Teacher Candice Usher and her efforts at teaching chess to Fuller Elementary School students. Schmick continues on by applauding the Chicago Chess Foundation and former ICA Youth Chairperson Jerry Neugarten: Reprint of Mary Schmick column, 4/30/17

Although CCF has made some progress this past year, a Tribune reader subsequently has written lamenting the pace of progress at CPS -- and reminiscing upon past efforts to spread chess through the public schools: Tribune Letter, May 3, 2017

May 4 is designated as a charitable giving day so why not help support the growth of chess through a donation through the CCF or the ICA?
