We recognized the students from Etiwanda Colony and Golden Elementary Odyssey of the Mind Teams who went to Iowa for the 2014 Odyssey of the Mind World Finals at the Etiwanda School District Board meeting last night. These teams were so good.
My favorite quote of the presentation. 8 months for 8 minutes.
That is 8 months of preparation and hard work to compete for 8 minutes. This is another example of a successful partnership between the schools and families of the Etiwanda School District. Everyone working together to help these students make and reach goals.
Here is a quote from the link above:
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. |
