Students from Janney Elementary School have been practicing at our club under the tutelage of Stefan Fatsis for the national School Scrabble tournament. Check out the Janney team's page on the Scrabble website, with their game-by-game results. At least one photo went out on the AP wire and was used in several places, including Yahoo, Fox News.com, and some newspapers. Here's the picture, with the AP story. We had a large group at Chevy Chase this past Tuesday. We welcomed Joanna Ward, who recently moved here from PA and took part in the York club.
