Chess Tournament

Ms. Allen, Jake's GT teacher, gives Jake his second-place medal.
The sixth-grade winners and their teachers.
Ms. Allen was so excited for Jake.
Jake picked a magnetic chess board for his prize (in his hand). The big chess set is one Mom gave us for our first married Christmas and is almost always set up for playing. And you can see the three nacho cheese containers on the bottom right - we bought pretzels with cheese to celebrate Jake's success!
Jake wanted to play all of us right away on his new chess set.
