Chess Club

Dear Carlos Gilbert families,

We will have chess club again this year! Every fortnight for an hour and a half after the end of school in the library.

Please email Mark Galassi <mark@galassi.org> or call 505-629-0759 (voice only) ( with questions and let him know that your kids will be joining.

Kids in Kindergarten and 1st grade should have a parent or other grownup there to help out - a few kids could pool to have a parent watch them all.

Finally: we will initially meet every other Friday, but if we get a parent volunteer to cover the other Fridays then we can meet every week!

Girls on the Run

If you are interested in registering your 3rd - 5th grader, please scan the QR code or visit the registration page.

The practice days and times are Monday and Wednesday from 3:15 to 4:45 (after school) on the playground. It runs September 18 until the end of November. It is a 16 week program.

Coaches Needed

This year 4 coaches are needed to run this program for girls 3rd grade to 5th grade. If you are interested in coaching and specifically interested in becoming the head coach for the next couple of years, please reach out to:

Carlos Gilbert Merch

We have some great Carlos Gilbert gear! Get your stuff at the online shop :)

The one-of-a-kind tie-die t-shirts were hand-dyed by a couple of awesome PTK volunteers and are available in a nice range of sizes.

There are terrific baseball caps and some wild color-changing cups. Chilly lately? Pick up a nice Blackhawks zipper sweatshirt! AND more!

The Carlos Gilbert PTK is a dedicated group of Parents, Teachers, and Kids working to raise money, support the classrooms, and encourage our kids. We help keep our Blackhawk spirits soaring high!
