Congratulations to CJMS’ Odyssey of the Mind team whose members just returned from a five-day trip to Michigan State University to participate in the world finals, where teams from 34 US states and 17 countries competed on a range of topics testing their creative problem solving skills. Our CJMS team placed 33rd among 72 teams in its division and while there, had the opportunity to attend classes taught by NASA scientists and connect with their buddy team from the Amity School of New Delhi, India, and cheer them onto their 7th place win in their category and division. The CJMS team has been working since October 2016 on Odyssey of the Mind problems and earned the opportunity to travel to Michigan after placing second in the Maryland State competition.
Thanks to the PTSA and the CJMS community for supporting the team’s trip to Michigan and to CJMS’ teachers who are helping the students catch up on work that they missed! And be on the lookout for notices next year when Odyssey of the Mind teams begin forming.
