Chess Legacy Project in Action!



Today marks the culmination of the 8th Grade class Legacy Project.  This is the second year Expressions students created a Legacy Project.  The Legacy Project is a collaborative art installment created by the 8th grade promoting class as a way to leave a lasting mark on their Leading Edge years.

The life-sized Chess pieces that students formed with chicken wire, applied paper mache' layer and painted are finally ready for game play!  Students learned to play the game of chess in 6th grade with Ms. Meindl, so it seems fitting that the life size chess board has been permanently installed on the ground next to her classroom, at the end of the LE hallway.  After the great collaborative effort and critical thinking involved to created these pieces, it only seems fair to let students be the first to put their hard work to use!  Game on!
