Come jump into the intricate world of chess.  Each session will be full of chess puzzles, supervised games and game analysis. This comprehensive and progressive program allows students to learn how to play chess in the optimal manner by gradually increasing complexity. Classes will follow the six-level academic chess program of the Vancouver Chess School. See this PDF attachment for registration for next term.
I’m confident that Henry Hudson ES students, studying at the same pace as they do now, will be very well prepared for this tournament. ~ Executive Director, Vancouver Chess Club

HUDSON CELEBRATES WINTER FAIR AT VAN DUSEN FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS!
What could be better than all us parents taking all our students to Van Dusen Festival of Lights for an unbelievable Winter Fair experience they will never forget??!!!
Let’s all get on board!! Singing Carols on our very own Hudson Hawk the Herald Angels Sing buses!! Arriving and getting VIP treatment as we all enter the Festival of Lights! See what is in store for all of you: Van Dusen Map
We have some fun surprises for all of you!! We will let you know more next week!!
Basically it is about $10 per person for entry to The Festival of Lights. You can pull together families and mix up so you can all purchase family passes which are the best deal. Van Dusen is going to turn a blind eye to our group and not check who is with who so long as everyone has a ticket. Purchase online ahead of time for the best deal. Tickets Tonight Link.
Want to get on the Hawk the Herald bus? Round trip costs $6.50 per person. You need to be ready to get on the bus at 3:30pm at the school. We will arrive back at the school at about 7pm. We will be taking bus reservations beginning this Thursday 4pm via MunchALunch and via email and drop off. Cash and interact. No cheques.  All reservations for seats must be made and paid in advance. Bus reservations will close 4pm November 23rd.
NOTE: Van Dusen requires that for every three children 12 and under,  there must be a parent/guardian/adult attending and designated responsible for those three children. Same policy on the bus. One designated adult for every 3 children 12 and under. *(Different policies may apply for students under the care of HOOSC as HOOSC is a licensed daycare.)
Please note: for HOOSC kids: Thomas and Kelly have made provisions with us and their staff to be able to bring any HOOSC students on this trip if parents would like their children to come.
