Nearly 40 Central Elementary students meet every Tuesday morning to learn about chess from Randy Kaech, coach of the Ferndale HS Chess Team. Over 120 elementary students in Ferndale attend their school’s weekly Chess Club meetings. Who knows – maybe one of them could become the next Grandmaster!

Before- and after-school extracurricular programs like Chess Club are funded using levy dollars. For more information on the replacement levy, which is on the Feb. 8 ballot, visit our website at https://www.ferndalesd.org/about/levy-information.
