VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

3/31/2004

TO CONGRATULATE THE JAMES L. DAVIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHESS TEAM ON WINNING FIRST PLACE IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOLASTIC CHESS TOURNAMENT AND TO WISH THEM CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE.

Whereas, being a member of an academic team allows young people to have the opportunity to learn the skills of cooperation and teamwork while developing their minds; and

Whereas, to become a champion in chess, all members of the team must have outstanding critical thinking and intellectual abilities; and

Whereas, the James L. Davis Elementary School Chess Team, under the supervision of Mr. Charles Bush and Principal Larkin Hancock, Jr., defeated nineteen elementary schools from across the State for the first place title in their division; and

Whereas, at the March 6, 2004, South Carolina Scholastic Chess Tournament, held at Sumter High School, each member of the Davis Chess Team played six rounds of chess each before being crowned the winners of the tournament; and

Whereas, this team of fifth graders is composed of six boys and two girls who learned to play the game of chess just last year, meeting twice a week during the After-School Enrichment Program; and

Whereas, bonding as a team and forming a great learning relationship, the Davis Chess Team competed last year and won second place in the county, a great achievement in their first year of tournament play; and

Whereas, with their state tournament victory, the Davis Chess Team will be traveling to Orlando, Florida, to compete in the National Federation Chess Tournament in December where they will face their toughest competition, yet will likely come up as champions; and

Whereas, the members of this champion chess team include Dwayne Albany, Stedman Albany, Lawrence Carson, Daquan Jamison, Tyianna McKoy, Elton Mutugi, Kyiesha Saunders, and Javonte Scott. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives congratulate the James L. Davis Elementary School Chess Team on winning first place in the South Carolina Scholastic Chess Tournament and wish them continued success in the future.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the members of the Davis Chess Team and Mr. Charles Bush.
