Amberly Elementary Gets Go

Kids at Amberly Elementary School, in Portage MI,  learned about go this year. "Each year Amberly offers an opportunity for parents and members of the community to teach classes for an after school enrichment program," writes Jason Preuss, whose daughter attends the school. "I decided it would be a great opportunity to introduce go.  The class met once a week for six weeks and had six students ranging from 1st to 5th grade.  It was enough time to cover the material in the first Level Up book.  The students enjoyed the class and the parents gave positive feedback. For my first time out I was pleased with how the class went. I would like to thank the AGF for their support, in particular the classroom start up kit." - EJ Youth Editor Paul Barchilon.  Photo by Jason Preuss photo (l to r): Jason Preuss, Deidra Preuss, Alyson Koh, Jonathan Koh, Jonathan Ballard, Jacob Ballard.
