Nicollet Middle School Chess Club
With the closing of Metcalf and Ribnick relocating the team to Nicollet Middle School, we have decided to use the remaining shirts and glass tumblers with the Metcalf Masters logo on them as a fundraiser for the new Nicollet Knights chess club.
We have limited inventory so make sure to claim your items SOON because once they are gone, they are gone!
