**ODYSSEY OF THE MIND SEASON KICK-OFF**
The Odyssey of the Mind (OM) program focuses on students learning how to solve open-ended problems using each child’s creative talents and skills. Teams of 5-7 students are challenged to solve a Long-Term Problem over a period of several months, and then present their creative and unique solution in the form of a skit at the annual Vermont State OM Tournament (Saturday, March 21st, 2014 at CVU). By participating, students not only have a FUNtastic time, but learn a variety of valuable life-long skills: thinking outside the box, creative problem-solving, working collaboratively….and so much more!

To get the season started...
