Hi Kerry,
Thank you so much. I could meet any time between noon and 3PM on Friday.
Let me know what might work best and I could set up a video conference via MS Teams if that would work for you.
Best,
Dave

Hi Kerry,
Thanks for reaching out. The attached guide covers everything in detail, but here's a quick summary:
Pricing: $20 per student per week -- no cost to the school. For a 8-week club, for example, it is $160 per student.
Group size: 8-20 students per session.
Dates: We're coordinating fall schedules now for September 2026, aligned with the school calendar -- one afternoon per week.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I'd love to get Greystone on the fall schedule!
Best,
Dave

Hi Kerry and Jennifer,
I wanted to follow up on my note from early March regarding an after-school chess club at Greystone for Fall 2026.
We've had a wonderful spring running four clubs including sold-out clubs at Valley Forge and Pickering Valley Elementary, and we're now coordinating our fall schedule with several schools across the WCASD. We are also an approved vendor through the WCASD facilities office, so the logistics are straightforward on the district side.
I'd love to include Greystone if there's interest. I've included a few photos below from our spring sessions so you can see the program in action.

Dear Kerry and Jennifer,
My name is David Pustai, and I am a local father of four and the founder of Keystone Chess Academy , a scholastic chess enrichment program based in Chester County.
We provide structured after-school chess clubs for elementary students that focus on strategy, focus, and sportsmanship through short lessons followed by guided play. Programs are designed to be engaging for beginners while still challenging for returning students.
We are currently running chess clubs in the Downingtown and Tredyffrin/Easttown School Districts this spring and are beginning to coordinate Fall 2026 programs with nearby schools.
I wanted to reach out to see whether the Greystone PTO might be interested in offering an after-school chess club for students in Fall 2026.
Our programs are easy to coordinate -- we handle registration, instruction, and materials, and can work with whatever scheduling structure best fits the school.
If this might be of interest, I would be happy to share additional information or connect briefly.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
