So this year was Caelie’s third year and Kieran’s second year participating in Odyssey of the Mind. And as in the past both kids had a blast “thinking outside the box” and making new friends.
They had regionals this past Saturday and both kids teams did an outstanding job. Spectators get to watch teams’ long term problems/skits and they were so cute and funny.
It is a long day though of sitting around and waiting. By the time the awards ceremony rolls around at 6pm everyone is tired. Except of course Caelie’s language arts teacher who not only runs the gifted program at Caelie’s school but is also the Regional Odyssey of the Mind director. So not only was she there from the getgo before sunrise….but she is the major backbone of the program and had the energy of a 2 year old at the awards ceremony. She was up their announcing winners and dancing like she just woke up. She is something!
Kieran’s team didn’t place this year and luckily Kieran was more into getting out of there and going to a sleepover party then realizing they didn’t place and being sad because of it. Caelie’s team placed 4th and got ribbons.
I am very proud of both kids and their teams for working as hard as they did since last September.
