Congratulations to all Schalmont teams who
competed in this year's New York State
Region 7 Odyssey of the Mind Tournament! Students compete at
different levels, with students in grades 3-5 placed in
"Division 1" teams and students in grades K-2 placed in
"Primary" teams. Eight Schalmont teams competed at the
tournament in March, and the Jefferson Division 1 Team doing
"Tee Structure" earned a top-three spot in their level.
Jefferson first-grade teacher Melissa West
coordinates the Odyssey of the Mind program in Schalmont, but
students from all three Schalmont elementary schools
participate. The enrichment program helps participants develop creative problem-solving skills through
teamwork.
Thanks go out to all of the team coaches for
helping Schalmont elementary students take part in the
competition.
