All area elementary students (K-6) of any ability are invited to play. There is no fee: this is a FREE tournament. No player is eliminated and all players will play all five rounds.

the 1st Round to begin at 10:00AM. Weber BASP will open and operate a concession stand, or please bring a sack lunch or make plans otherwise to eat during the lunch break. IMPORTANT!! Due to space and time limitations, the number of players will be capped at 150. Pre-registration is encouraged by sending the player's name, school, grade, and gender to gschmidt14@yahoo.com by January 27th. We hope to see you there for a fun day of chess!

Souper Bowl of Caring at Weber

The Weber Student Council will once again sponsor our annual canned/boxed food drive.

You can send non-perishable food items with your child(ren) to Weber beginning on Monday, January 10 and up until Friday, February 4 (which is the Friday before the Super Bowl!). Please consider joining our TEAM to help win this important fight against local hunger. Thank you in advance for your help with this. Please be sure to contact Diana Frisbie with any questions at 688-1170 or frisbie.diana@iccsd.k12.ia.us.
