We would like to congratulate the following students for making the Odyssey of the Mind Team for the 2012-2013 school year:

Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.
Our team will be competing in Charleston, SC during the month of March. Stay tuned!
