Two East Greenbush Schools Place 3rd at Odyssey of the Mind Regional Tournament

Mar 16, 2018 | District, Genet, Goff, Green Meadow, Red Mill, Sutherland

Eight teams from East Greenbush CSD competed at the 2018 Odyssey of the Mind Regional Tournament this past weekend, testing their creativity, communication and problem-solving skills. Teams from Goff Middle School and Donald P. Sutherland Elementary School placed third in their events.

Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem-solving program that engages students in their learning by allowing their knowledge and ideas to come to life in an exciting, productive environment.

This year’s regional competition included a record 98 teams and more than 680 students from 14 school districts.

“We would like to thank the district for their generous support of this program for each team that wanted to participate,” said team coordinator Julie Adadjo. “Odyssey of the Mind allows the students to work in a creative manner with peers, and the final results are always far better than we could imagine they would be able to do on their own.”

The team shirts were designed by Jai Wargacki, a junior at Columbia High School.
