Chess develops the ability to see from someone else's perspective. Through this course, chess players learn to anticipate an opponent's next moves, predict what another person will do next, and develop the ability to adopt another person's perspective. Regular practice can improve your cognitive function, helping you to become more mentally sharp and alert. In fact, studies have shown that chess players tend to have better memory, attention span, and overall brain function than those who do not play.
Paddle-boarding is a water sport in which participants are propelled by a swimming motion using their arms while lying or kneeling on a paddleboard or surfboard in the ocean or other body of water. A derivative of paddle-boarding is stand-up paddle-boarding also called stand-up paddle surfing. You can do all kinds of activities on a stand-up paddle board, like yoga, fishing, racing, and touring. Stand-up paddle-boarding offers many of the perks of kayaking but with a much better vantage point than a kayak. Paddleboarding offers total body physical exercise and mental relaxation.

Palmer Trinity School is pleased to announce the start of its third season of the Co-ed High School Sailing Program. The 2023 – 2024 season will start in September and participants must tryout.
The Falcon sailing athletes will compete in Regattas once a month organized by the Interscholastic Sailing Association. There are two types of sailing racing, and cruising. For those new to sailing, it specifically refers to the sport of using wind to power sails and propel the boat forward (rather than engines).
Practices are held Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at the US Sailing Center. Palmer Trinity School offers afterschool transportation to the US Sailing Center and parents are responsible for pickup.

Have you ever wanted to know how to use AI? Well, you’re in luck, because this is the class for you! We’re now in a world where even very young students can use free-online AI tools to generate essays, stories, and even music, television, or games. In this new world, kids can cultivate their creativity at young ages by creating AI symphonies, working with partners and AI to create animated books, and generating AI animations. Along the way, they’ll gain access to a suite of tools that can help with homework in the future, build familiarity with the new AI world we’re moving into, and importantly, understand when and where not to use this powerful new tool.
*Note that this is a creative AI class, not a coding class for younger students*.
