Chess Club
Welcome to the Franklin Chess Club. Our club meets every Wednesday from 3:15 to 4:00 in the cafeteria. Students from kindergarten through sixth grade are welcome to participate. You don't have to know how to play chess, just have a love for the game. Many of our members have played in chess tournaments around Bakersfield.
You must be currently enrolled in Franklin School to be in the club.- Fill-out our Chess Club Application if you are not in the After School Program.
