RMS ODYSSEY OF THE MIND TEAM

The Riversprings Middle School Odyssey of the Mind team has been busy this semester competing in Regionals and State Competitions.
Odyssey of the Mind allows students to use their natural creativity to solve problems and find original solutions. Odyssey of the Mind centers around teamwork, budgeting, time management, public speaking, and collaboration.
The Riversprings Middle School Odyssey of the Mind team participated in the Regional Competition at Riversink Elementary School on Feb. 25th. The RMS Bears took two teams: “The Most Dramatic Problem Ever” and “Classics...The Walls of Troy.” Both teams are Division II teams. The Most Dramatic Problem Ever Team, comprised of Emily Zak, Ella Zak, Laci Yarbrough, Amillia McCullough, Madilyn Waters, and Chloe Miller placed first in their division for this problem and will advance to State Competition in April. “Classics...The Walls of Troy” team comprised of Jennifer Carnevale, Cadence Dow, Desiree White, Noah Morey, Rowen Bishop, Sophia Love, and Dylyn Kasheta placed second in their division for this problem. The Problem Five “The Most Dramatic Problem Ever” Division II team then travelled to Orlando April 8th to compete in the State Competition. The Captain, Emily Zak, led her team in a wonderful performance though they fell short of a spot in the top 5.
The next season begins in September. Sponsor Amanda LaTour said, “I could not be prouder of their hard work and dedication this year.”
