2.      Virtus Training--The Diocese of Knoxville will be auditing our records to be sure all volunteers are properly trained and background checked. If you still need to complete your training, you may sign up for the one-time, three hour class by going to www.virtus.org and searching on “Knoxville (Diocese).” You may attend any class listed that is convenient to you.  The next Virtus Classes are scheduled at St. Stephens Catholic Church: Saturday, August 12 at 9:00 A.M. in the Admin Building and on Monday, August 28 at 6:00 P.M. in the PLC.  If you attend a class at another location, please check with Cissy West to be sure you have completed all the necessary paperwork. If you attend class here, Donna Jones will provide you with all the paperwork we will need.
3.      ChessNinja--ChessNinja is a high-energy, super fun after school program that incorporates exercise, mindfulness, and storytelling into chess lessons. Students will laugh and learn while exploring the fundamentals of chess, math, and problem-solving! We'll meet in Mrs. Monahan's Science Classroom on Wednesday afternoons from 2:30-4p. All 1st-4th-grade students are welcome! Session 1 - Sept. 6 - Oct. 4 (5 weeks) $75 + $35 supply fee/ semester (t-shirt, chess set, silicone wristbands, and snack).

He moved to Chattanooga last fall to establish ChessNinja and explore the outdoors. When he's not working on ChessNinja, you'll find him on the trails and waterways around town. Please register:TL@chessninja.org.

If you plan to come, please bring work gloves, and any tools that may be of help (Post hole diggers, garden fork or shovel for uprooting weeds, pruners, etc). This is a great way to get in some PIP hours before the year gets too crazy. Water and Gatorade provided. If we are still there at lunchtime, we will feed you!
