PS 139 Chess Ninja fundraiser at Barnes and Nobles this Saturday, March 13th

Barnes & Noble has again generously agreed to donate a portion of that day's sales to our team, as we are preparing to travel to Atlanta to compete in the Elementary National Chess Championship. Our students will also be on hand between 11am-1pm, and again between 2pm-4pm, to play against any costumers in the store who want a challenge. No extra donation or expense required! Just mention our chess team to any cashier in the store (including at the cafe!!) while checking out, and they will do the rest. Come on out and support a terrific group of very hardworking children!
