UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

Several Scotia-Glenville teams received ribbons for placing in the top three at the Region 7 Odyssey of the Mind competitions on Saturday. One team, coached by Gene Terwilliger and his Glen-Worden crew, placed first in the Road Rally problem (pictured below) and will go on to the state competition in Binghamton on March 29.

Here are the final results (in PDF).

Dozens of Scotia-Glenville students will put their creativity, engineering skills and teamwork to the test during competitions at Mohonasen High School and Draper Middle School on Saturday, March 1.

The Scotia teams - from Glendaal, Glen-Worden, Lincoln and Sacandaga – have involved parents, students and staff working toward solving a unique problem since late last year. There are three primary teams (grades K to 2) and 11 division teams (grades 3-5) from SG this year. Last year, there were just three teams entered from Scotia-Glenville.

Each team constructs its own props, develops it owns skits and must work toward the solution in a uniform way outlined at this Odyssey web site: www.odysseyofthemind.com

The schools work through the Capital Region BOCES. Here is the BOCES press release about the upcoming competition.

Many of these projects would not have been possible without strong parent, student and community support. These businesses donated more than $4,000 to purchase supplies, pay Odyssey of the Mind fees and other items needed by the teams along the way:
