Congratulations to Odyssey of the Mind Team!
Hellstern's team competed last weekend and they won first place. They are headed to the state competition on April 1st @ Hendrix College in Conway. Special thanks to Wendy Peters, teacher at Rollins Elementary, who has been their coach!
Here is a description of what they did - Problem 1 - Pirates and the Treasure:
In this problem, a group of pirates sail their “ship” to reclaim stolen treasure and return it to the Queen’s Kingdom. The pirates will travel on the ship where it will change direction, encounter and battle an original “sea monster” that guards the treasure, reclaim the treasure and return it to the Queen’s Kingdom. The performance will also include a pirate captain, flag, and song.
