Help MN Girls "Rule the World"

Hello. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and watch. We are 8 girls from Heritage E-STEM Middle School in West St. Paul, Mn, who are on 2 ALL GIRL Odyssey of the Mind teams that need your HELP!

We are Jasmine, Ella, Katrina, Elise, Nina, Kathryn, Sophie and Alycia. All girls between the ages of 10-12. We are two different Odyssey of the Mind teams. If you are not familiar with OM, here is a link with all the information you would need!

Our team names are Fins, Furs, Feathers and Friends


and the N.E.R.P's (that stands for No Explanation Required Please)  

Both teams were meeting all year,  prepping for the Regional Competition at Friendly Hills Middle School in Mendota Heights.  There were people from all over Mn, other States and there was even a college team from Mankato!  Both of our teams placed high enough so we qualified to go to the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals to be held at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, May 25-28th.  

All we need in order to get there is a little help from YOU!  

It costs $575 per girl to cover competition and registration fees, food and lodging for all of the girls for 5 days and transportation costs.  That is a total of $4600.  

Also!

We need it FAST!  We would like to raise it all by Friday, April 29!  That isn't very long!  But we think YOU can DO IT! 

We think it is important to go to World Finals because some of us have not been before and really want to experience it after hearing how awesome it is from those girls who have already been.  Also, we would love the opportunity to push our creative, imagination, teamwork and problem solving skills.  We also love that we are ALL GIRL teams and would love to express our GIRL POWER  in a competitive environment.  As part of the Odyssey of the Mind World Competition, we would be housed on campus in the dorms and would get to experience a litlle of what college would be like.  Lastly, we would meet and interact with teams from all over the United States and THE WORLD!  

Raising enough mondy to attend the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals actually would mean the WORLD to ALL OF US!  

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your time, for sharing this gofundme with EVERYONE you know and for donating.  We appreciate that every dollar counts!
