If you are new to Odyssey of the Mind, we invite you to join our virtual information session:

We will have a presentation to outline the premise of the competition followed by a Q&A for interested parents. You can start reading some information on our website. We strongly recommend you attend a session if you plan on filling in an application for your child.

What an amazing turnout for the PTA General Membership Meeting. It was fantastic to see so many new faces among our familiar crowd. A huge thank you to everyone who was able to attend. If you miss it, or would like to review some of the information shared, here is the link to the slides. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

I'd also like to thank Geeta Paranjape, our VP Ways and Means, who I shamefully forgot to recognize at the meeting. Geeta stepped up to this role in the spring after our elections, when we thought no one would take the job. We are so grateful to her and pleased to have her as a valued member of our board.
