Members of the Bells Elementary School Chess Club finished fifth in the New Jersey State Chess Championship hosted at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft on Feb. 26.
Under the direction of adviser James Cho, the students competed against 22 other schools from across the state in the elementary school division as the only public school and the only South Jersey school in the competition.
“Bells School is proud of the dedication and commitment to chess both from Mr. Cho and the entire chess club,” Principal Ginny Grier said. “Thanks to Mr. Cho, although chess is a competitive game, our students worked together to help each other improve, which is evident in their successful season. Mr. Cho continues to help students shine both in and out of the classroom.”
