Peyton = Chess King

Peyton played in his first chess tournament of the year last weekend. His team, the Washington Wildcats, had a pretty large team and they all did very well. The 2nd graders for Washington took home the 1st place team trophy and Peyton took home the 5th place individual trophy for 2nd grade. His good friend, Ty, took home the 2nd place trophy. Peyton will want you to know that even though Ty is taller, Peyton is older (by 2 whole days!). Aren't they cute?

We are SOOOOO proud of Peyton - not just for the trophy, but for trying his hardest and practicing every Monday after school, for being an understanding loser and a gracious winner, and especially for telling his teammates "good job" after their matches. Way to go, Peyton!
