This past weekend, several of our GMS students participated in the Odyssey of the Mind tournament. Odyssey of the Mind is a problem-solving competition- where students solve problems using cooperative and creative thinking skills and then are required to present their solution to the problem in a skit.
Six of our Gifted and Talented students participated and they placed 4th in the tournament- competing with teams across the state!
