Waterbury-Duxbury OM World Finals

MICHIGAN CALLING! HELP US GET TO WORLD FINALS IN MAY! 

Great News ~
Once again, Crossett Brook Middle School and Thatcher Brook Primary School Odyssey of the Mind teams rocked their state competition on March 21. Five of our eight teams (grades K-8) qualified to compete at World Finals at Michigan State University May 20-23. 
Two of those teams have decided to make the trip: a group of boys in grades 6-7-8 and a team of 4th and 5th grade girls.

OM is a creative problem-solving competition where teams of up to 7 students work for months to prepare solutions to a problem with a list of unconventional requirements that they present in the form of a skit at their state contests. The more creative, imaginative, out-of-the-box their solutions are, the better!

OM is totally extracurricular, led by parent volunteer coaches. OM is not funded through the school budget.

For the trip to Michigan, our teams plan to fundraise about half the cost which comes to $10,000. We have events planned, grant requests coming together and  and we're spreading the news to everyone we know who might like to chip in for this awesome experience. World Finals brings together more than 15,000 students from all over the U.S. and a bunch of other countries. It's a chance to see the work of creative kids from many many places and get inspired for next year.

So - how about at least a $10 donation? We'd appreciate any support our friends and families might be able to give. These 13 students can't wait to go to represent our schools and Vermont at such an amazing event. Thank you for helping us out!
