Three of Morningside Elementary’s Odyssey of the Mind teams competed at the state tournament last weekend. We are so proud of all of our teams for representing our school well. Odyssey of the Mind is an international creative problem-solving competition where students completely take the lead and create the sets, props, costumes, and even the script without adult intervention. These teams work all year long to create a solution for one of the problems presented. Then at states, they are judged on their long-term solution, their spontaneous problem, and the creativity of their style. Additionally, one of the teams built a structure that held 335 pounds. Another team built a vehicle that had to perform certain tasks. The third team was comprised of all k-2 students. They all did an amazing job. Way to go Morningside Bluejays!
Thanks to the coaches of these teams, Mr. & Mrs. LaChance, Mrs. Wilks & Mrs. Tedesco, and Mrs. Moore & Mr. Hughes.
Prob 1 Div 1 – Morningside 4th place overall against teams from all over the state & earned the TOP score for Spontaneous out of 19 teams!
