Foxtober is our 1st Big Fundraiser of the school year! With this fundraiser the PTA will continue to provide educational and social/emotional resources for our Fry Foxes. The students will be participating in activities throughout the month of October to go along with each weekly theme. They will also have opportunities to win weekly prizes.

Foxtober is a month full of glowing fun, spreading acts of kindness and fundraising for our school! We also focus on keeping our Foxes active and providing opportunities for our students to work together to build a community and show school shining spirit.

 

Chess Club

We are excited to return to Fry School to run the chess club for the 20th year! Anyone from beginners to advanced players is welcome to join. No chess knowledge is required. Each week, students can play, make new friends, and have a chess lesson and one-on-one coaching. Lessons will cover openings, middle games, endgames, tactics, and positional ideas. The chess Club is not just about playing; it's about learning and growing intellectually in a fun and exciting way. 

 

Anyone can try the first class for free. To do so, please email blair@illinoischessteachers with your name, grade, school, and phone number.
